Nerine 2017

[Brian Ellis]

Wonderful colour John.

Brain  - The Nerine says thank-you.

Yes the colour is very good but this is its first flowering & only nine flowers in the truss.  I'm hopeful the count will rise down the road, 12-15 would be nice.

Nerine 'Blanchefleur' is flowering here as well, but not as prolifically.



Also flowering, Nerine humulis var breachiae.

Last Monday afternoon I went to see Steve Eyre's National Collection here in Devon.... and forgot to take my camera.... it was lovely. I saw 'Blanchefleur', what a nice plant.

Better than a gas-fire, Ashley!

I take no credit Ralph.  These came from Exbury in August/September.  The test will be repeat-flowering & multiplication.

Best red seedling to date and as one might guess it's a volunteer found in a pot of N. undulata seedlings.  Quite impossible to capture the true colour.

 A dark one in flower here, Nerine PS-14-06 = 'David Lionel' x ('Quest'x'Eve')-27712b.

Now this is a bit pf a puzzle.  When it first flowered in 2015 I thought the lack of a main flower stalk might be an aberration, the extremely generous pedicels emerge all at once.  One wonders if the male parent 'Curiosity' AM involves huttoniae or krigei.  Has anyone observed this phenomenon?

This week it seems to be the new reds, Nerine PS-09-10   ['David Lionel' x ('Bagdad' x 'Pantaloon')-25519a]  first flowering.  The previous posted red veered to orange after about a week but I think this one is such a no apologies red that it will retain its colour.

I don't know that it's a cure John, went to a great talk by Nick Bailey (ex Chelsea Physic Garden) on building his silver-gilt Chelsea garden -warts and all -and bought another bowdenii hybrid!
