Title: 3 unknowns
Post by: Calvin Becker on October 07, 2010, 04:12:03 PM

Hi all

A few things from my Johannesburg garden that I've lost labels for or that didn't come with any:

1) Anemone sp. - spring flowering, fairly long lasting flowers and approx 10cm tall.
2) A winter dormant perennial that gets tiny pale pink flowers in autumn I think. I bought it with a name but lost the label and have forgotten the name.
3) A clump of bulbs I discovered growing amongst the grass at the edge of a bed and decided to move.

Hi Calvin,
I think the winter dormant perennial is a Cryptotaenia japonica atropurpurea  ;)
