Oxalis 2013

[Janis Ruksans]

Surprisingly early started blooming of some Oxalis. Here two quite similar by flower but very different by leaves seedlings:
Oxalis ennaephila #101 and
Oxalis laciniata #135

Surprisingly early started blooming of some Oxalis.

My goodness, this does seem early.

What a strange season this is....... or do we say this every year?! 

[Anthony Darby]

Anyone know what this one is?

I had Oxalis laciniata flowering over a month ago in the alpine house, and noticed the Gwen McBride  form, bought at this year's Harlow show in a poly bag, in flower outside today.

Some of Oxalis adenophylla, the first is 'Sheffield Swan', others my seedlings. More on my home page rarebulbs.lv chapter Garden news.

Oxalis loricata - the first blooming with me in 4 years.

Beautiful oxalis, Janis.

lovely lorica.

I don't seem to do well with the south american Oxalis, except lobata which is a bit different anyway.

Anyone growing them successfully in the greenhouse? I moved all of mine out to troughs where they have hung on but never flowered.

There has been one exception. It's labelled "superstar" but I vaguely remember raising a number of seedlings from superstar and despite spending the last five years on the greenhouse floor it's flowered well.

I repoted it this year and though there are less flowers it is rather lovely.

Not a clue, Anthony - but I like it.
