Title: nivalis 'Phantomas'
Post by: mark smyth on February 21, 2014, 11:32:19 PM

Just wondering how many people grow nivalis 'Phantomas'. Should I add it to my chip list?

Strangely I haven't photographed it since 2007

'Phantomas' has only been mentioned a couple of times in the forum - I went looking to see and it looks different in SteveT's (mr grumpy) picture  http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=10162.msg269260#msg269260 (http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=10162.msg269260#msg269260)

Looks like the amount of green is a wee bit variable

Sorry Mark :)
  I will try and take some more pictures this week.By the way mine too were from Avon Bulbs.And to answer your first question about chipping it,Yes if you've got the space,it's a little beauty.I think the name means ghostly apparition,which will account for thr variable mark on each plant in a clump.
