Sierra Nevada flower
In article , Sacha writes: | | It's stunning, Nick. Did you not bring a few bits home with you?! Tsk! In | a way it reminds me of an Eryngium that we saw growing in the Trodos | mountains of Cyprus. The blue was so intense that they looked just as if | they'd been spray-painted. I have never before, or since, seen anything | like them. I am not good with cuttings, but I did spend some time looking for seed-pods. No joy, unfortunately. The ones in the Sierra Nevada weren't as intense a blue as the picture, but were still a good blue. The plants are sufficiently distinctive that an autumn visitor should be able to collect seeds - it looks as if the Portugese variant may have the best colour. There was also a Cistus that I failed to find any full seed pods of, but it wasn't all that exciting. Nice, but just another Cistus with small white flowers. I got some seeds from two street trees in Granada, which I can't offhand identify. I will chase up a bit and try to grow them. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
