Glad to hear it, my ones outside appear to have died so I'll have to plant some more. Good job they are easy from seed. I'll mail you about the Jade Vine. -- Regards Bob In Runnymede, 17 miles West of London |

"Sacha" wrote Yes, Ray started them off in the prop. house to bulk them up and now is going to plant some in the garden. They're very pretty and delicate and were new to both of us. And thanks for the reminder! Yes, they are very pretty and what I call a "classy" plant, always delicate, both in flower and form. Shame the flowers are so short lived but they do open in succession so the whole thing lasts a couple of weeks. -- Regards Bob In Runnymede, 17 miles West of London |

Shame the flowers are so short lived but they do open in succession so the whole thing lasts a couple of weeks. I'll have to ask Ray to give you a Crocosmia 'Krakatoa' which is the new one he's bred. It's a lovely clear colour and starts flowering just as C. 'Lucifer' is finishing, which is a bonus. The flowers are quite large and eye-catching and I think you'd like it. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon ) |

Without protection, it rarely survived Midlands' winters in those days, so I more or less treated it as a half-hardy annual. I suspect that in moderately sheltered areas, it may sow itself about in much the same way as Freesia laxa (Anomatheca), which could be nice - especially if there are plenty of the richer mahogany and red shades. Dave Poole Torquay, Coastal South Devon UK Winter min -2°C. Summer max 34°C. Growing season: March - November Interesting (as all Dave's posts are!) I grew this from seed 5 years ago. I'm in NE England; I planted some in the garden (heavy clay) and they survived for 2 years. I left 2 in 7-inch plastic pots which are just left unprotected over winter and they've come back and flowered every year. Having said that, watch them not come back this year :-) Jeff Whitley Bay |
