I've got two different roscoeas, one from a friend who got it from Chen Yi, the other that I've had a long time, and I think I got it from the National Collection Holder. Both have mauve flowers.
This second must have an ovary well down the growing stem. The other one has seed pods that are much closer to the top of the stem. Does anyone know if this characteristic of growing half way down the growing stem is typical for Roscoea australis by any chance? It would help to I'd it so I can donate seeds correctly named. Otherwise I'll just have to label them sp.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Here are three pics of the plant concerned, but sadly I didn't take a photo earlier in the growing season to show the flower.
