Hans, are you joking? It is not possible to EAT phaedranassa, is it? :o

....Italians can maybe eat it :P
Title: Re: Phaedranassa 2009
Post by: Alberto on May 13, 2009, 02:27:44 PM: Dear Hans,it looks like there is a problem with this species: the name is not accepted in IPNI nor in the Checklist of Monocots!

Maggi: since we have the actual Premier we have to eat something worse!

beautiful, I have noticed that the snails love the leaves of these plants, if they continue thus I must jump the meal

Post by: Mad on May 28, 2009, 11:04:32 AM: Alberto, where do you keep her? Directly in the garden? Forst-free?

Sorry if it's a silly question, but I like her a lot ::) :P

May I ask also where in Italy do you live?
Title: Re: Phaedranassa 2009
Post by: Alberto on May 28, 2009, 02:44:59 PM: Mad, I live in the North of Italy, nor far from you (for not Italians, Ferrara is not far from you!). Of course I grow it inside, here is too much cold!
I'll send you a private message in Italian.
All the best
Alberto
Title: Phaedranassa carmioli
Post by: Tony Willis on July 07, 2009, 04:05:10 PM: my Phedranassa carmioli in flower now. I nearly lost it last year to narcissus fly
Title: Re: Phaedranassa carmioli
Post by: Maggi Young on July 07, 2009, 06:04:22 PM: Glad you have recovered the bulb from the narcissus fly damage, Tony.

I will merge Tony's post with the pre-existing Phaedranassa 2009 page.... :)
Title: Re: Phaedranassa 2009
Post by: Tony Willis on July 07, 2009, 07:34:58 PM: thanks Maggi.

it seems to me difficult to tell these different species apart.

yes I had not had the fly before it was quite a shock. We have also just got lily beetle the last couple of years and the mites that ruin day lilies.
Title: Re: Phaedranassa 2009
Post by: Hans J on July 07, 2009, 07:44:53 PM: Congratulations Tony !

the narcissus fly like also my bulbs of Phaed. carmioli ....they had one near destroyed in last year

I will water in this year my bulbs of Amaryllidaceae with a systemic insecticid ( Axoris ) ....
