The bees are wild with the Pulsatillas so it's not so hard to get them on photo. This one looks as if he's been having a good time  :D

Some more Lewisias from the greenhouse today.

This is a white Lewisia tweedyi seedling from seed collected from the plant I pictured in reply 271 earlier. Seed was sown in late July 2008. The peachy coloured seedling below the white was from the same batch of seed.

Lewisia tweedyi 'Rosea'

126115-2

Lewisia oppositifolia var. richeyi grown from my own collected seed sown August 2007.

Hans,

I am surprised that your H. caroliniana is in flower ahead of one growing here. I would have thought our season would be ahead of yours.

By the way, is that a bamboo threatening to move in on your Halesia?

Paddy ,

I think your winters are more mild than yours ....but in summer is it maybe more hot than in your climate ....so this is maybe a reason ?
We had really since some weeks a explosion of growing !

We have new plant this Halesia last year in May - on this place was a big old Yucca ....
yes - we have made a big stop underground against this bamboo  ;D

Gunilla, I think the bee was so impressed by your pulsatillas that it went a little crazy in the pollen - I think the photos are captivating and bee-utiful!  ;D  Do post some more....
