Imposter!
« on: March 14, 2019, 11:47:58 AM »
Bought a frit as one thing (name gone from memory)which turned out to be F. elwesii.
This year we have an imposter! Is it F.amana perhaps, which rings a (very) faint bell as to what I bought?
Has it been lurking in wait to catch me out at a show?
Comments please,
JohnnyD

 I'll go with  F. amana - there is  some  variation, of course.
