What will it be?
« on: September 04, 2014, 10:12:13 AM »
Another mystery plant of the 'I'm sure I should know what this' type. ???
Probably best to wait for the flowers to open - but I can't wait! :P

I think its a Cyperus (Umbrella Sedge) possibly C. erogrostis - so sorry no flowers.

I think you are absolutely right Lisa - thanks.  But it then begs the obvious question.

I always used to grow it in a large pot in the bathroom, warm and humid it reached the ceiling most years!

That makes me feel a lot better Brian. At least I'm not alone! Thanks.
