Oh! I must have mis-read the scale completely- I thought it was something much bigger.
If I've remembered correctly, they were about 2foot high and the flowers were at least another foot higher,

Crumbs- that's about how I saw them - must have got confused then with thinking that Cotyledon orbiculata  is smaller.  :-X :-\

Maggi,
they may grow a bit bigger under these conditions.

More Belladonna Lilies are in bloom!
These are seedlings we raised many years ago and I particularly like the one with an almost Picottee effect,
cheers

We had a buying spree yesterday!
This cutie is an Aussie native Mimulus repens - one for the water-pot!

Howdy folks.  Great pics... Must get to Lambley one of these years.  Worked out how to view the forum on the iPad..... My laptop is having a bit of a coronary, but hopefully I can retrieve data off it.

I made a quick decision last week and headed down to the Ferny Creek plant fair over the weekend.  So nice to catch up with Fermi, Will and Otto, amongst others.  Bought back about a squillion plants. ;). About half the ute tray.   ;D. No idea where I am going to put everything, particularly as contemplating moving house if I can find the right place.

Addictive isn't it Paul!  8) I've only got my Acis autumnalis (still) and Cyclamen africanum flowering at the moment. I have flower buds on C. hederifolium and C. cyprium, but apart from a white frangipani and a yucca and her indoors' bedding plants, nothing else.

Lots in bloom here, many perennials including the choc cosmos (over half a cup full of seed so far!) salvias especially patens forms, Crepis incana, penstemons, first gentians including depressa, alpine phloxes doing another round as are pulsatillas and so on.

Large trailer-load of sand for my birthday and I was needing it. But what happened to red roses, diamonds and their like and romantic trips to Paris?

Been to Paris in March Feb. Bloody cold! Definitely should have got red roses 8) Took a photo of the weans and got an artist at Montmartre to do a large B&W pastel. Heidi's portrait is now ready, so when it arrives I'll have to get it framed and hide it for Vivienne's birthday in May. I wonder if Heidi'll appear in the pet gallery? http://www.animalartist.biz/html/pet_gallery.html

Aha! A visit to friends AND some retail therapy - that's good going!  :)

Paul, search out the "tapatalk" app. - it works a treat on an i-pad or other such device and makes forum viewing   BulbLog and IRG reading a real pleasure .... http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=11251.msg290410#msg290410

Now Lesley, we all know you'd MUCH rather have a load of sand instead of frippery stuff!
Can I put in a plea for a pinch of Chocolate Cosmos seed ?  Pretty please?

Maggi, I've downloaded tapatalk but not entirely sure what it is supposed to do.  Have joined this forum on it.. But where from there?  Ok, been back in and discovered there is stuff there now....however it wants me to create a new I'd to post anything, so I am not going to bother.  I don't want a different ID on the iPad to the computer.

Happy Birthday, Lesley.  Sounds like I have only just missed it?

I don't think you need a new ID for tapatalk for the forum, Paul - I don't have  any of those gadgets myself, just going on what Ian says- he loves the way it shows the forum on the i-pad and he posts from there with his usual log-in, I'm sure. Will ask him about it. It's just a neat way to access the forum etc on an i-pad type thingy, I think!
