Flowering Now - June 2009

[gote]

This is a Ramond myconii I collected as a cutting at Montserrat in southern Spain in 1989. Last year it went wild and produced its first side rosette.

I lived many months within viewing distance of Montserrat but at that time it was in the northeast - near Barcelona. 
If you intend to go there again I can tell you where the really big ones grow.

my wife your Physoplexis comosa

[akoen]

Anne that is a stunning garden.
By the way is that a lake or a fjord?
Göte

It is a fjord. The "Hardangerfjord". About 100 km southeast of Bergen.

And yes it is a very nice place.

Anne Karin, that is a wonderful place to garden and it is so beautiful.
The colors of your plants are so much clearer than here in Holland, so far up north.

my wife's Physoplexis comosa

Wolfgang, I see your wife has a fine collection. Thanks to you and to her  for sharing with us.

Anne,

Glorious garden.  That blaze of the double orange poppies (I think that's what they are isn't it?) along with the Meconopsis and the Irises is wonderful.  And that VIEW!!!    Wow.

Thanks so much for showing us.

So does anyone know whether Physoplexis would be possible to grow in my climate (-8'C or so absolute minimum in winter, 40'C or so max in summer)?  I just love the flowers.  Of course I may not be able to get it here of course.

This is the natural home of Luit's Helichrysum species - Lesotho behind me and KZ-Natal straight ahead (...and down!). A short distance further down the pass such beauties as Gladiolus flanaganii, Eucomis schiffii and many other choice plants can be found on the steep slopes below.

Rogan,

When the time comes I would love to see pics of the Eucomis schifii and some of the other beauties.

Anne K., I'm lost for words, your garden is just stunning!

Sinchets, I like those Gentianaceae, where did you find seeds of the Comastoma?

...and that blue Corydalis

Anna Karin
You're garden looks absolutely stunning... so colourful and well constructed ! The view isn't bad either... 

Magnar,
Never seen or heard of your Corydalis but it's a beauty !!

Luit,
Wonderful selection - don't Rhodohypoxis look great in large quantities

Thanks again everyone.

This spring/summer has been rather chilly and i think that has someting to doe whit the colors. They are brighter this year.
