Title: Unknown Helianthemum
Post by: mark smyth on November 17, 2009, 04:02:17 PM

Now that more people are members I thought I would try this plant again.

I saw this in the Czech Republic. Anyone know which Helianemum it is?

Certainly looks like a hirsute one... perhaps Helianthemum canum... ?

Perhaps Helianthemum caput-felis - not sure if it is hardy there. ::)

Was the photo taken in the wild?  In other words, was it likely to be a native plant?

It was taken in a garden in the Czech Republic.
