Roscoea 2011
« on: May 10, 2011, 06:54:21 PM »
The first of my Roscoea to flower this year.
Unfortunately I don't know which particular one it is as the pigeons kindly removed all my labels.
Pigeon pie anyone?

Looking at last years photos I'm tending towards an id of Roscoea cautleyoides CLD772.
I do have 4 different yellow/ cream Roscoea cautleyoides though.

Two forms of Roscoea cautleoides sown in January 2007 from Exchange seed labelled R. cautleoides 'Jeffrey Thomas'. I thought I read somewhere that 'Jeffrey Thomas' was a purple form?

I don't think they like the dry weather the flowers are lasting no time at all.

Roscoea cautleoides 'Jeffrey Thomas' is a primrose yellow that fades cream, I think.

I prefer the spelling Roscoea cautleyoides  - but I'm not sure of that .... edit: yes I am, the RHS plant thingy agrees with me!  :-\   http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/search?q=Roscoea+cautleyoides

In any case, I would not expect seed from it to be pure, but to show variation and so throw some purple shades.

I had it with a "y" on my label but then noticed in Dwarf Bulbs and in The Smaller Bulbs that Brian had it without so assumed that to be correct. Kew has it with the "y" on the Monocot Checklist and on the Plant List. I prefer it with the "y", sems to flow better-uses more ink on the label though!!

Tony,

They are in smallish pots that have been outside all winter and still are.
These fellows are tough.

No sign of any Roscoeas above ground here... and we won't expect them until end of June, even into July.

Quirk of the weather we've had this year I think. Apart from the ones in flower that I've shown all my others have noses showing.

I think it was named after Sir Proby Thomas Cautley, a British engineer that worked in India. The genus Cautleya is also named after him.

Another yellow, to be honest to my eye there's not as lot of difference with some named varieties.

1. Roscoea cautleyoides Kew Beauty
