Paris ?????
« on: April 13, 2011, 09:18:31 PM »
I have a Paris from China with a big rhizome and the height is about 1 meter.
Any idea?
Here is a picture.

Welcome to the forum,  hanninkj.

Several good Paris growers around here, they may be able to help. 

Super close-up of the flower, have you a shot of the foliage?

Don't be silly. It's autumn, even in Auckland.

@manicbotanic,

Thank you for the information. Now Ihave 2 flowers.
Efloras says: Ovary violet.

So the conclusion can be Paris vietnamensis.

The picture's too big to see all at once but I think it would make a great decoration for an Easter bonnet. ;D

Yes hanninkj I agree, send it to Carlo!  ;)

Carlo - I hope you are weathering this wretched election stuff. Mercifully not long-lived but painful enough for someone having immigrated. Hardly a suitable greeting for you eh?

I would be quite happy to be able to say I had A Paris. At least one alive; here they behave as if they have made a hemisphaere change.

Ha! A 38 day election campaign vs. the 2 year haul that has already started in the US? Canada is a very interesting place.

Back to Paris (the plant, not the place), I see that our good friend has another beauty...and blooming at only 10cm! I'll have to take a closer look....
