Bill glad you did not suffer too greatly in the downpour.
Marcus you do have some very extra special plants - as does Otto of course.

Cyclone Wilma didn't come down my way fortunately and nor did the weaker Cyclone Anthony which touched base just as the Darby family was landing last week! It was downgraded to Category 1 even before it come over the country.

Floods on the East coast of Australia and fires on the West! Crazy weather!
Despite it all there are new flowers
This is Allium beesianum grown from seed (slightly out of focus, sorry )


Lilium "Black Beauty"


cheers

> ... could you give a clue about this Arisaema please. It was the one you sent me labelled A. flavum.

Most certainly not A. flavum (I can send you seed or bulbs a bit later if you still want this species).

I'd lean more towards Aris. fargesii rather than Aris. franchetianum, at least when compared to my clones of Aris. franchetianum.

Andrew, still growing plants but not online as much these days.

Nice to see you around, though, Andrew.

Thanks Andrew, that would be nice. I used to have masses of the little ssp.abbreviatum, just 16cms high but haven't seen it for a couple of years.
