Mystery volunteer flower
mark smyth:
My guess would have been Tricyrtis aka toad lily
Maggi Young:
Hi, Geebo, welcome to the Forum. I'm with Mark.. I reckon Tricyrtis.
I like your pencil sketch ID, by the way !
Paul T:
Howdy,
It's a bit thin-stemmed for a Tricyrtis I would have thought. My Smilacina doesn't have any of the hair. The fine stem and leaf arrangement could also be something along the lines of Disporum perhaps, although can't remember if there are any hairs on that genus? How tall is the plant? Does it flower?
Geebo:
This is a different picture of the plant,dont think it is a tricytris,when I got the plant there had been tiny white or cream flowers on the tip,they produced no seeds though.I have read "The Explorers Garden" by Daniel J.Hinkley from the famous Heronswood Nursery and get fairly near to Smilacena,just cant find him mention a variegated plant.The plant is now completely in its dormant state, and I will have to wait until spring to see if it survives :-\ Thanks for all your research.
Can anyone tell me how to use the buttons on top??
:) :) :) ;)
Maggi Young:
Hi, Geebo, well, I'm not any further forward on your mystery plant though now I'm leaning back towards Smilacina!
If you are asking about the Home Help Search Admin Profile My Messages Calendar Members Links Logout buttons at the top of the page, I suggest you click 'em amd see what happens! If you can do something with them, a window will open for you, or not, as the case may be!! The HELP button has got useful tips about all sorts of things to do with the forum and its uses... also have a read of the General threads on the front page of the forum... that's the first topic of all, not the General pages that are part of the open forum. There's handy hints there, too. Hope I have managed to make this clearer than mud.. if not, ask again!
Best Wishes,
Maggi
