Eucomis ID
Ray was given this some time ago and we've never had a certain ID on
it. Does anyone happen to know which it is? I hope the pic is clear enough because it's too late to take another now! It's probably about 2' tall in a pot and it's one of the 'beefy' ones. http://i37.tinypic.com/11se5pz.jpg -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |

But which one I do not know - there are quite a few hybrids around. -- Jeff |

This has jogged Ray's memory and he thinks it came from the head gardener on a local estate. This man died a few years ago but he was a frequent visitor here and had a passion for white flowering plants. I've done a Google image search on this and I think you've hit it. Thanks from all of us, especially as the donor was a particular favourite of us all. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |

Do you know why the Pole bit? As in Pole Carew, Carew Pole, or just straight-as-a? ;-) Thank you for this info. I'll pass it on to Ray. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials.

My typing is not good capitals all over the shop! should be Eucomis pole-evansii. Pole-Evans was a botanist I think, certainly a lot of different plants carry that ending wether the Pole bit comes from any conection with the Carew-Poles I don't know -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

I'll get some images for Ray to have a look at when he's out of his sickbed! It would be good to be able to put a name to it. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics.
