Thomas,
These variations are astonishing indeed!
Did Gerd Stopp mention something about differences between them concerning slug resistence - I mean is the hairy variant in the last pic less attrictive to molluscs?

Hi Gerd

Please excuse the late answer...I had a lot to do at work.


That's an interesting question. I have never seen a snail during my countless visits to Gerd Stopp. No snails either - grain. I'll talk to him about it next time. It can be however quite that the strong hairiness  could be a protection. This variant is from a relatively low height. Rather subalpine. I'll get more information.

The snails are my main enemy. 😭

This is my long awaited for Physoplexis flower. Probably about a five year wait. It never seems to get any bigger and is probably in the wrong place but I haven't wanted to move it in case it flowered and finally it has.
