LOVE that word 'injudicious', Maggi ... it has really cheered me up in this hospital bed.  All cards, grapes, flowers, best wishes and rare seeds to Ward 43 (mixed) via Mrs. Ranunculus at our usual solicitors please.

We planted more than 25 years ago Romneya coulteri at the southside of our
nursery glasshouses, where it flourished for about 10 years.
The roots were running inside the glasshouse where it was to hot and red
spider took possession of the plants, but they ran outside again at the westside.
I show a picture of a part of it on the westside where it grows over a length of
18 meters.
Between the plants and the garden is a macadam drive of 3 m. wide.
The second picture shows a plantrunner on the gardenside of the drive where it makes
a nice display too.
Now we just have to look out, it does not take over the rest of the garden...


Romneya coulteri [Hillier Form] 1         
Romneya coulteri [Hillier Form] 2           
Romneya coulteri [Hillier Form] 3   

       (This Hillier Form differs from another Form  which is much lower and easier to
        propagate) This one may reach 200 Cm.)

A interesting Lilium (from China?) and a wonderful Asarum spec.
Does anybody know the correct names?
Photos are taken today.

Rafa, I love that Digitalis obscura in the wild---can see the genetic difference between those plants and what I have grown here in the garden as that species (much diluted)!!!!

so many species....so little time

Another You Tube video ... this time to the Valley of Flowers in India.  Mute the soundtrack perhaps?
