june 2024 in the northern hemisphere
« on: June 20, 2024, 08:41:45 AM »

the June 2024 topic hadn't started yet, had it?

I'm trying to use a new photo software. What's the maximum resolution for the forum?

in the 3 years since i planted this Deinanthe, this is the first time it has flowered properly. for 2 years, its buds aborted.
 I imagine that the incessant rain has something to do with it.
 it produced a flowering shoot 2 m from the mother plant.

merci Maggi  :)

Salvia roemeria
has been flowering non-stop since March in a pot in the greenhouse. last year, the year it was sown, it produced only cleistogamous or very small flowers (0.5 mm of red protruding from the sepals), which was a great disappointment to me. fortunately, i gave it a second chance: now i love it!
but it blooms so much that i don't think it will live beyond this saiosn. and for the moment, none of its seeds seem to want to germinate.

Corydalis calycosa its blue is really extraordinary, and the photo is quite accurate.
 Do you think it's possible to obtain seeds of this species from a single individual (self-pollination)? The nurserywoman seemed to say that it never made seeds.
 but maybe that's because her pollinating insect doesn't exist here... with a paintbrush?

The blue Corydalis are usually self-sterile, although quite promiscuous so if there's a lot of different species flowering at the same time you often end up with (hybrid) seeds.

thank you for these details.

end of flowering of Ariseama tortuosum grown in the ground. I won't have any seeds, the inflorescence only has male flowers. this year, it's not as tall as usual.
I dream of having the biggest Arisaema possible... I've heard that some reach 180 cm!

A little further on I have Ariaseama tortuosum helleboricum from seed; they remain small, 50 cm max, even though they have been flowering for 3 years. I thought this subspecies was taller than the others.... This year, one of them flowered without even making a single leaf, which was a bit ridiculous, and how is it going to replenish its tuber?

Some pictures fom the garden:
Philadelphus "Belle Etoile" is one of the most fragrant plants in the garden.
Campanula latifolia Alba always flowers profuselyand is native to our country, but
the problem is, that slugs love it and do lots of damage to these beauties.
Iris foetidissima makes no problems and very rewarding.
Weldenia candida is in a big pot and spends the cold season in the basement

Hypericum kazdaghense origins from colleted seeds, but I am happy, that it now

 Weldenia candida is an incredible plant.
I've never tried sowing it...

Hypericum kazdaghensis is cute: how wide are its flowers?

Veronique, thanks for your reply.
The flowers of Hypericum kazdaghense are +/- 2 cm.
I never had seeds at my Weldenia candida and never heard of anybody who had
some at his plants. In literature they recommend root cuttings, but in my experience
it is best to separate the plant roots in early spring.

It looks like the roots of Commelina tuberosa
