"I name this plant"...
Two charity plant sales on the island today, and as usual, there were several irresistible plants with no labels, or the previous owner's dim memory of what the name might have been once upon a time. One such, was a big box of large bare bulbs in the green, labelled "Irene; yellow autumn flowers".They look to be nerines..but yellow nerines??????? Is there such a thing? Another one is a foot high, with very fine-leafed feathery blue-grey foliage; label just says "Chelsea Girl". Clues please :-) The other mystery one was labelled lavender, which from the rounded soft leaves it obviously isn't; I think/hope it's either lobelia tupa or a cistus. Janet. (Isle of Arran). |

The bulb, I don't know of a yellow nerine, but how about Sternbergia, possibly S. clusiana or more likely S. lutea both of which are autumn flowering and yellow. The second plant is probably Argyranthemum gracile "Chelsea Girl" AGM. -- Regards Bob Some photos of my plants at..... |
