My Lucifer have gone crazy this year, when digging up some for PeteC,
one corm had at least 10 new corms clinging to it. A word of advice
to Pete and Sheila, plant them very sparingly because in just one
season they will multiply.

Judith

What do they like.....shade/sun etc... ?

Contrary to what my good friend Nick says, mine are in shade and they
multiply, beaucoup, so watch it Pete.

Sun. They aren't dogmatic about it, but don't handle deep shade well.

Thanks Nick :)

Uh oooh Pete, mine are not in sun, they are taking over, so goodness
knows what they will do in full sun.

Nick, mine are planted in the rear garden, facing north, near the
house, not much sun, methinks mine don't know that they like sun, so
Pete should be careful, they could takeover, yes?

Flower better? Many plants grow well in shade, but flower better
in sun. My understanding is that Crocosmia is one such species.
My reservation was only about DEEP shade!

I would say that the flowers are no different to the ones in full
sun. In deep shade I agree nothing much does well unless you know
something that does Nick?

better next year.

I'm gonna set up a page with thumbnails when I have time. I hope to
show progress over maybe a year. From jungle to food supply :)

Set them as links to bigger pics...

Suggest a line like:

a href="pic1.jpg" border="1" alt="description of pic" img
src="/thumbs/pic1.jpg alt="link to larger pics of ***** Click for
larger picture /a

It is netiquette to put in the 'alt=""' text for the benefit of
unsighted or poorly-sighted surfers, though I have to confess that a
lot of my site omits them - FTTB.

Hehe, I 'usually' use 'alt text'. I use Jalbum for
thumbs/links............darn sight easier that linking individual pics.

And as easy to edit?

Slugs and snails?

They're a blooming nuisance there...
