The [i]Pecteilis radiata[/i] are now in season  ;D
Wonderful little white flowers, hardy and so easy to grow.

You wouldn't say that you'd had my 'success' with them.  :(

Nice flowers though, Fred. I will keep trying (ever the optimist).  ::)

How do you grow them Fred?

I had good results last year but very poor in this season... maybe too much sun or too wet... :(

Enrico, I grow them like a carnivorous plant.
They are in 11 cm square pots which stand in up to 2.5cm of rainwater in the growing season.
The pots are under the end of the bench but at the sunny side of the greenhouse.
