Good morning all,
As per title, I wonder if anyone has some ideas about the plant pictures in
the following link?
http://s1095.photobucket.com/user/CharlesJF/library/
It was bought at a local fair in the spring, un-named, and planted out. It
grew steadily, did nothing particularly interesting, and reached 6 foot plus
by the end of the summer. This month it grew loads of bulbs, and burst into
flower as in the photos. It has a single stiff main stem, feathery leaves,
and had tight dark red buds about 12 to 14mm diameter before flowering
At Wisley RHS I spotted a molopommesia peloponnesiacum, which looked
similar, and had the same bud formation - not flowering at the time.
However, looking it up this doesn't seem a good match for flower colour,
plant size, etc. Googling for characteristics hasn't got me very far either.
We'd like to keep it, if it's a perennial, or get another in the spring if
it is an annual, as it's a welcome splash of colour at a time when most
other plants are heading for winter.
Thanks for your help,
Charles F
