Calostemma 2011
« on: June 25, 2011, 11:47:25 AM »
My Calostemma is flowering in this day's ....pretty early !
This is a very nice and unusual form of Calostemma purpurea ( received from a nice friend  ;) )

Enjoy

I have two forms of C. purpurea, one with a yellow cup and one that is fully purple.

I have two year seedlings of Calostemma luteum and I am absolutely EXCITED to see them bloom, I can't wait!  Does anyone else have this plant?

Yes ,that is a problem... but we can see the wonderful scenery and think of the flowers that live in those places.  For us this is half the pleasure of these races... we really enjoy seeing these on TV and guessing what flowers will be growing just out of sight !
