It looks kind of familiar (houseplant? Aloe or related?; fleshy leaved thing with stripey leaves?). Des Fleshy leaves - yes Aloe - no Looks like a bulb. It's dying down ATM after flowering in the winter in the GH I've added a picture of the 'bulb' 'corms' or whatever Jenny |

Thanks Jenny I have four, grown as seed from Chiltern a few years ago but not flowered yet. My info is that likes a shady spot, is dormant in the summer, and likes it moist and free draining in the winter when it flowers (I live in hope!). It's also supposed to be fairly frost resistant, but I can't vouch for that; mine are still in pots in the g/h. -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |
