« on: September 02, 2008, 12:34:56 AM »
Here is a fantastic plant: Roscoea 'Red Gurkha', and a wee unidentified plant from Trinidad.

Red Ghurka will be a hard plant to beat during September.

Roscoea Red Gurkha is a stunner... for anyone who missed it, I recommend a look at Paul C's Wisley log of a couple of weeks ago... see here: http://www.srgc.org.uk/wisley/2008/180808/log.html

Yes, it's lovely, maybe Roscoeas are worth looking at after all.  It's a lot better than the insipid pink R. scillifolia I have received (as R. alpina of course).

Since there isn't a "fruiting now" section I'll put Leila's Podophyllum hexandrum apple in here.  A pity it gets hidden under all the foliage.

Someone expressed envy earlier when I mentioned that we have Epipactis helleborine as a weed - we do allow it to remain on the garden fringes.   Here's why we aren't over impressed with it - and with a tinge of pink this one is  slightly better than the greenish white majority.

Hi Anthony,
the "gurkha" is lovely.
I wonder if your unidentified plant is some sort of Torenia?

The flowers are about 8 mm across and look very like Lobelia.?

Are you able to identify the Colchicum.  They are very beautiful.

Clethra acuminata always makes me chuckle when I see it flowering---the sideways blooms always seem like they want to go somewhere....

Chasmanthium latifolium starting to colour.

And the Ginko biloba with a superb crop of fruits.
