Can someone ID this Erodium ?
« on: November 30, 2009, 06:11:06 PM »
I was looking up pics of Erodium Guttatum and came upon this pic.
It's totally different from the other pics I saw as E. Guttatum, I would love to find out what this one is.
It is so beautiful of course I want one, maybe I can find some seeds. ;D

Mark, it looks like an erodium to me.
Here's where the pic was taken.

Two more linkls to photos like the one Helen listed...... lovely thing, but much different from most other images of E. gutattum posted on the web..... I'm confused, as usual.... but I like this little dark-eyed plant very much!

It's from Morocco. Someone needs to introduce it.

The Moroccan website has some amazing and very desirable plants on it and we know that many are entirely hardy so it would be good to try some more. I enjoyed seeing old friends Rupicapnos and Carduncellus. :)

 Yes, Lesley, I enjoyed a browse around that Moroccan site too.... nice to be reminded of those plants, which , as you rightly say are often hardy( here in the UK, at least) on a cold wet November evening.  8)

For me also there were many lovely plants. I always thought of Morocco as a desert ::)

The AGS is offering a tour to see Narcissi of Iberia and Morocco
from Feb 25 to Mar 10. 
They will be in the National Park of the "verdant" Rif Mountains.
The description lists other Moroccan plants that will be seen, but
I guess an erodium is too common to mention along with Raffenaldias
and Two-leaved Gennarias.

Wow, Helen.  That is an amazing flower in your first link, isn't it.

Yes, perhaps! Poor little Erodium ..... but it may be that that time of year is just rather early for the Erodium to be much in growth or flower?? we'll hope that's the reason it gets no mention!  ;)
