Title: Bulb Log 23
Post by: MargaretB on June 11, 2015, 01:13:54 PM

Some wonderful corydalis photos, Ian, especially the Craigton Purple.  I always seem to fail miserably with corydalis but your log has inspired me to try again and I will attempt to grow from seed next time as you suggest.  Is that a dreaded lily beetle I see in the corydalis pseudobarbisepala photo? :(

 Off to check the photo for that Lily Beetle!

Eeek! yes I see there's a pair.  Ian got the culprits earlier  but  wejust checked those two lilies and there were a couple of eggs - all gone now!  Well spotted, Margaret B!!

 Looking forward to seeing Carole Baxter and Ian Young tackle Alpine troughs in programme 11 - these two reunited from the Beechgrove Potting Shed Radio Scotland Programme

On the programme on the 11th June...
"Carole has Alpine expert, Ian Young with her in Beechgrove’s Alpine garden. How’s this for a weekend project for any size of garden space? Ian is also a master of recycling and he shows Carole how to take some pretty uninspiring materials; old polystyrene fish boxes, chips of old breeze block and some discarded pieces of cement and in an alpine ‘ta dah’ moment Ian transforms these into a convincingly old looking stone trough with a rocky mini mountain alpine landscape full of tough alpine beauties."
