Paddy,

Thanks for the great pictures.  I've never seen a Paris seedhead before.  Very, very cool.  Some great autumn colour in your pics..... while here we're having the spring flowering.
Cheers.

Some photographs from my garden today. The Yucca filamentosa is looking particularly well at the moment with two flowering spikes.

How amazing, Paddy, as the same plant is coming into flower in our garden on the other side of the world to you in Ireland! If I can get a decent pic I'll post it to the Southern Hemisphere thread.
cheers

My Yucca filamentosa was over early September.

Anthony,

We had a heavy frost last night, the first of the year and I feared for the yucca but it is still in perfect shape.

Paul, re the Paris - I don't suppose I can send them on to you with your restrictions? I shall sow them around the old plant and let nature do its own business(unless, I hear something to the contrary from you).

Paddy,

I was going to say Yes to a few of them..... but send them down to Rob  and maybe he can send me a couple.  Much easier for you to just post one lot to Aus.  Saves you some postage.
Cheers.

Paddy,your flowering Yucca looks so beautiful with the yellow edged leaves and these opulent flower
spikes. I am so sorry,that my limited garden space doesn't allow me the cultivation of this beauty.

Paul,

Please send my your postal address. There was one seed capsule - I went out last night with a torch to collect the seed just in case a mouse decided they would make a nice snack. There were more seed than I imagined in the seedpod and I can certainly send on a few to you.

This offer is now closed - sorry to be blunt but they are spoken for.  There will always be next year.


Rudi, it's a nice plant to view in the garden but an absolute brute to work near in the garden as the spikes are lethal.

Hi All

a bit late here - some of these pictures are from today - and some are from earlier - so I thought I would shove them in the October thread to cover all bases.....   ::)    Hope you like ferns!....

1 - Asplenium scolopendrium 'Applecourt'

2 - Asplenium scolopendrium 'Crispum Cristatum'

3 - Cyclamen hederifolium 'silver leaf group'

4 - Asplenium scolopendrium 'Ramo-marginatum (kayes)'

5 - Asplenium scolopendrium 'Ramo-marginatum (clone 3)'

6 - Asplenium scolopendrium 'Zeal Dwarf'

7 - Asplenium scolopendrium 'Laceratum Lobed clone'

8 - Asplenium scolopendrium 'Fimbriatum'

9 - A new one (there are only 2 in existence at the moment) - A.S. 'sculpture'

As you can probably tell I like Asplenium scolopendrium forms rather a lot!   ::)

regards

John

John,

I particularly like 'Zeal Dwarf', very nice indeed. By coincidence I grow a Nerine called 'Zeal Giant'.

Hans, that is a wonderful pic of the cyclamen leaves and bougainvillea bracts. :)
