Green tipped woronowii

I just thought I'd share some pictures of a green-tipped woronowii I found in a garden centre last year. I'm not very good at adding pictures... but if this works... first picture is from last year, showing the pot of woronowii and the others are from this year. It seems to be stable, and I now have a flowering size plant and two smaller daughter bulbs although they were attacked by slugs this year whilst in a frame (despite pellets) so they're all now in a greenhouse. The final picture only has green dots on the inner segment, which I believe is common... but it's an interesting combination of markings from a single garden centre pot.

A nice find Anthony - always exciting to find something different in the many pots in garden centres. I have found some over the years but sadly they have never been strong growers and only lasted a year or two.
Fingers crossed your find turns out to be a good do'er.
I am sure you have seen it before - but here is a pic from here last year of "woronowii 'Cider with Rosie'"

Thanks John,
It must be frustrating and a shame when nice looking plants are found, only to find they disappear or are weak. I deliberately kept this for a year to see what it was like, but I'll reserve my final judgement until I've had it a bit longer, and can see what the daughter bulbs are like.
Thanks for the pic. I was going to ask those of you who have or have seen 'Cider with Rosie' what you think of it. I haven't even seen it yet... I'll see if they have it at Colesbourne this weekend. I also saw there was a very similar woronowii (found by Valentin Wijnen?) in the IRG e-magazine Maggie mentioned on the forum recently... so I'm not expecting it to make my fortune... I just like it!

A nice find Anthony, I hope it proves stable for you. I bought 'Cider with Rosie' last year and notice that there are four pairs of leaves this year so it will be interesting to see how many flowers I will get. Hope you find one at the weekend.

Thanks Brian,
That would be a pleasing rate of increase... I hope you get a nice little clump of flowers, and that we might see some pictures on here!

Being green tipped for a second year must be a good sign for your woronowii

I have a clump, badly needs dividing, of what were green tipped woronowii. I was working in a garden centre at the time so took the oportunity to remove all green tipped and repot them together so I could buy them. I bought around 10. I now have around 30 and none have been green again.
This year I found a green tipped elwesii elwesii very like Green Brush.

I hope your elwesii is stable. I have a few in the garden which sometimes have tiny green tips, and other years they don't... I find it very odd.
It's a shame your woronowii haven't repeated the green tips, were they like mine? I'd been waiting and worrying about this one... expecting it to have a plain flower this year.

Have you got a green tipped woronowii Steve? I can't work out how to enlarge your profile pic?

I'm fairly new to this. I have to open pictures from my camera with Microsoft Office Picture Manager, go to the 'picture' tab. Click on 'resize' and there's a box to reduce the size of the picture so that it's within the limits of the forum (for my camera I have to reduce it to 25% original size). Save it somewhere and then click on the 'attachments' option when you type a post... and find it again... That's just how I do it, I'm sure others can do a better job of explaining things...
