    A couple of weeks ago @Alisa posted about having some spare tubers of Achimenes..
    I cant find her original post, but she kindly sent me these earlier this week, there are more than I need of most of the varieties so I would be happy to pass on the surplus ones I have if anyone is interested, nice summer pot plants that flower all summer, in my limited experience of them.

      URGENT!!!

      I again have spare rhyzomes. Happy to send to someone. It's a last minute planting really. They already have growth, which I believe needs to go under the soil.

          I didn't have place for achimenes indoors this year. I planted rhyzomes, and early April they went straight to my unheated greenhouse. They struggled a bit in the beginning, when t used to drop to +4c at nights. Some new leaves froze. With a warmer weather they formed into nice plants and are flowering now.
          Can't take proper pictures, it's kinda a congestion in the greenhouse.
