I think I remember you saying that Bilbo - that's fantastic. I am just hoping I might manage to equal that. I think height must depend on how good...
Canna altensteinii [ATTACH] [ATTACH] My two C. altensteiniis recently hit the 8 foot ceiling of my sun room and were bending over, so yesterday I...
Victoria - I loved the pictures you showed of Iochroma cyanea some time ago. Its what made me get some seeds. I also have I. coccinea with red...
I have always kept them just frost free previously - this time they were in my heated garden room at 10C. I did wonder if they needed to be cooler...
For the first time I have taken to spraying all my inside plants with Provado, on a regular basis. In the past I only sprayed after I found I had...
LongK - I think I like Arisaema tortuosum best of all - it seems to be the tallest even though its not the biggest tuber.I had a strange thing...
