Adonis season is coming Adonis ramosa 'Shu-ho(朱宝)' has opened its flower today. I realised the flower has a slightly scent when I move the pot.
Thank you for all comments again and I’m so happy Karl, your ‘Yamato (大和/倭)’ is a really little beauty and I’m looking forward to your post next month. Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with Adonis. I started to grow them last November. I received an email from Wim (a SRGC member) about Japanese Adonis cultivers and he made my interest forward to Adonis at that time. I think Japanese enthusiasts (and even nurseries) usually grow them in pots. They say Adonis likes relatively dry soil condition in pots and must use AKADAMA, KANUMA and pumice blend media (you can see the soil my picture as above) to keep highly drainage.For reference, these are Japanese Adonis pictures links. You can see some of them are grown in pots at nursery.http://www7b.biglobe.ne.jp/~yamakusa/newpage62.htmlhttp://www.geocities.jp/fukujusou2004/gallery/hinshu1.htmlhttp://www.geocities.jp/fukujusou2004/gallery/hinshu2.html
