Title: Latest allotment pics
Post by: Robert_Brenchley on April 17, 2007, 00:08:21
The Trilliums and snowflakes have been wilting in the heat, as you see, but they perk up overnight, so hopefully I should have better pics shortly. it's the first time I've had arum creticum flowering, though I've had it for years, and they're still pretty mingy specimens. The garlic pic has garlic on the left and elephant garlic on the right.

These are kurabayashii, I think; the classification is a bit indefinite with these. The ones you've seen are probably grandiflorum, the commonest. I have some in the seed; with luck they'll be up next year, and hopefully flowering about five years after that.

Looks a lovely site, Robert, with all sorts of interesting things [mainly ones I've never heard of!].  :)

Don't lose them! they're pretty tough, but they can be a bit slow to emerge.
