Simon,

Bummer.  I guess no-one has paid to have that species evaluated.  Hopefully someone in Aus already grows it anyway and is reading this..... maybe they can spare some seed or an offset?  I really like the look of it and would love to grow it.

Sorry Paul, I didn't realise you had to pay to have a species evaluated. How long have they been doing that? Having seed some of the 'weeds' you have over there not long enough I guess!

Various references will be noted in these recent  pages  to "Cardiocrinums" : those posts concerned with cardiocrinum  have been moved to Bulbs General in their own thread ,

Tanks for the nice comments on my pictures.

Simon, dos your Penstemon smell? It my bee Penstemon azureus or Penstemon glaber v. alpinus. I got them both and I think it is the same.

To day some pictures from my garden.

I do love Collomia grandiflora Simon, but what a weed!  I forgive it for being the most delectable colour 8)  Ours are a way off flowering yet.
It was more of a weed for us in England- here there are more herbivores willing to give it a go  ;)

Simon+Brian,
Please let me know why Collomia is a weed. I grow it the first time and was so glad to to raise  plants which will flower soon. Isn't it an annual?

Anne Karin, what a stunning location for a stunning garden. Thanks for the ideas for the Penstemon id- I shall investigate further tomorrow!
Gerd, the Collomia is an annual for me and seeds itself freely, but it is easy to pull out from places you don't want it. I have to say for that colour there are few places I don't want it.  ;)
Two tiny beauties (to me anyay) flowering today in troughs. Hopefully they will be happier when we complete our shady rock garden beds.

Gerd Collomia is lovely, but self seeds all over the place, as Simon says you just have to weekd it out from where it is not welcome.  The colour is a wonderful soft apricot and most welcome.

Wonderful garden Anne, and a stunning setting (from one who lives in a flat part of England!).
