Hi Wim your Ramonda alba is so sweet. 8) Does it take a long time to bulk up.

Fantastic, John!
I got this as Aethionema pseudarmena. Is it the same as A.armenum?

Wim,

the P. roseum has long been on my wish list.  Did you raise it from seed?  Wonderful colour!

I am currently attempting Ramonda from seed with little success.

Jamie,

I received the P. roseum from a friend who has grown it from seed. If it sets seed this year I'll let you know and you can have some.
I've never sown Ramonda... I believe it's a slow germinator which needs light to germinate.

Thanks Angie,

I wouldn't know if it's quick to bulk up since it's the first year I'm growing it. I think it grows at the same rate as the regular R. myconi.

Lovely Maggi, they look so contented, and clean.  When I was growing up we had a Westie called Heidi who would persist in rubbing herself along the underside of the car, so she was always more black than white!

Thank you Gail; they don't always look so white......
Here is Poppy  last week, after she swam through the pond (which is covered in duckweed) and then rolled to clean off said duckweed....... ( well, it worked to get rid of the duckweed!  ::)  )

Well it has been another roasting day down here in sunny Bury and I thought yopu might like to see some pics.  I'm having to post them singly at the moment.
