Title: Out of season!
Post by: Palustris on March 07, 2005, 20:56:32
I knew the weather was a bit odd, but to find these in flower now, after really hard frosts etc. is a bit thick.
Two forms of Eccremocarpus scaber

Grows like a weed in my garden, have the red and an apricot colour.  Don't you find it curious smelling when you hack it back?
