I hadn't known about Tanya's BEing plants until it was mentioned here a few
days ago.

I put in an order, but didn't duplicate any of the seedlings I have growing
from Silverhill.

However, perhaps that was a mistake.  Maybe Tanya's seeds are collected
from different areas and will vary significantly.

Has anyone flowered the same species from both BEing and Silverhill and
found them to be quite different?

I grow them both sins last year
but I have to wait till they flower to see difference
I have the idea that they have the same suppliers
If you see the listings on internet
most have the same seeds

I won't know for awhile, Diane, as like you I just discovered the site and have sent for my first order already!

In the garden: Ornithogalum thyrsoides

And another pellie: Pelargonium triste - this is the "other form" that I grow which has the red markings

Lachenalia rubrida rubra.

It think it's a bit 'leggy' due to our low light levels at this time of year.

Love the Polyxena Arnold. I have some coming along from seed but another couple of years before I see flowers.

Hi all, I got this polyxena bulb as 'an unidentified sp.' but it looks like Polyxena pygmaea.

Why not  with a thin paint brush ? I used of one yesterday to take pollen from a double white and red Brugmansia picotee   (one "etamine" only !) to a single  green-white one...  ::) Wait and see  ;D

Good luck with that cross ,Nicole.

In my case, a finger is better because I have ten of them with me at all times whereas the paint brush might be anywhere..... ;) ;D

 I think there's a clue to why I like the little fat flowers like in Tetsuo's lovely plant!
