Title: Adonis - from seed sown Jan 2012
Post by: ChrisB on June 30, 2012, 03:11:01 PM

Had to share this one with you folks, this adonis was grown from SRGC seed sown in January 2012.  What a plant!  Two pics, one taken in shade, the other in a bit of sun.  Doesn't do justice to the flower colour either way.

Stunning Chris,  :o :o 8). And all this in just 6 months, I think I'll have to give these a go! ;D

Chris,

wonderful Adonis. But it is Adonis annua, an annual species of this genus. Certainly not Adonis 'Chichibu Shinko',which is a cultivar of the perennial Adonis amurensis!

Thanks Wim.  Its beautiful regardless.... Didn't know they were annuals  I'll have to collect seed.  There's several buds coming too.
