Poul, do you have a picture of the LEAVES of Empodium because I have what someone gave me as an Empodium but it hasn't flowered in 5 years. Makes good leaves though!

Thank you David. I am proud of some part of my garden... Other parts I am not so proud to show here

Lesley, I have no pic of Empodium leaves, as I received the bulbs this season. I will show you when the leaves come.

Thanks David. It's good to the extent that I'm thinking what I thought was Empodium maybe isn't. I can't take a pic of the leaves at present but will do when able. But they are not deeply pleated or even really pleated at all, just rather striped but not colour stripes, more texture stripes. They come up each year but no flowers. Were given to me by a north-of-Auckland friend but then he's given me many odd things over time so I may have something entirely different.
