If you have ever seen this plants on natural habitat -so you know it
I grow my Narcissus the whole summer in my bulbframe -without any drop of water -on 01. of September I water it ....thats all !

Maggi - my compliment ::) ::) ::)
You are real good - the name of this Cacti is for the indians "Cola de Monones" - this means :
Tail of ape ......
Maybe you should make new descriptions of Cacti !!! ;D

Hi Hans,

I've had this same collection outside in a raised fully exposed sand bed and it is completely hardy.  With perfect drainage you should be fine with it outside.  I was fascinated this year to watch pure white buds give way to the lovely pink flowers - a nice contrast as the flowers open.  It has set a lot of seed, the bees are hardly ever away from it.

Best,

John

Hi John ,

Thank you for your information - but for me is it easier to grow it in a pot .....my space in the borders....

Many greetings
Hans

That is a very nice allium, especially as it flowers in autumn - how big is it?

After a lack of flower spikes last year Rhodophiala bifida sent up 2 this year. It must like the neglect I have lavished on it.

Love those pics of N. serotinus (Hans, the seed from you is doing well!!) and I have to agree with Maggi about the cat tail.  Even being familiar with that sort of Cactus, that particular one does look like a cat tail.  They certainly are better flowers than I've seen on those types of cactus though..... the ones I have seen in the past are much more of a tubular type of flower, the one that springs to mind immediately has irridescent green flowers.
