The Streptopus look great with the fruit too, don't they.  Adds a bit more of a dimension to the plant, and the birds probably just love them.

I love the Epilobium and that lovely yellow Impatiens as well.  Thanks for showing us.

Thank you Paul !

Hans, I saw Streptopus amplexifolius often in het southeastern Poland mountains. It is not rare. I collected a plant in the Babi Gora region and is is very easy to grow in pots. Every year I get many seeds from the berries, and was succesful in getting new plants. Last year's sowing didn't succeed, surprisingly, but I hope they will germinate next spring..

In full leaf they are stunning plants growing up to almost a meter high

If someone is interested in seeds, please let me know in autumn. I'll have plenty

Hello Hans J.
I have overlooked this post until now.
I am amazed that it grows in Europe.
I think I grow it but as Disporum sp.
I will check my plant against your excellent pictures next year.
If it is the same it is quite hardy.
Cheers

Hi Christian,

I do have seeds from 2012 for you so please send me a PM with your address.

I cannot say much about varieties of S. amplexifolius. Sometimes berries on my plants are more like those of the Hans Joschko plants so I doubt they belong to different varieties as based on the shape of the berries.

Regards, Hans

Hans,

In the USA this plant, and S. lancifolia are native to at least 30 states.  While not very comon, they are not rare here. In most years, the NARGS seed exchange offers one or both [both garden grown, and wild collected].
