couple of pics to show them.Last posting for a couple of weeks as I am of to Houston tomorrow
Martin and Tony - thanks a lot. The pictures are really stunning, hardly to understand they are so seldom seen - are they to easy to grow? I have been looking a long period of time for them - it is easy to find double ones - but the wildform was never offered.
They are very easy in that I keep them moist through the winter growing period and when they die down in about May dry them off,put them in the garage until September when i clean them and repot.At that time they are completely shrivelled and look dead. I sometimes soak them for 24 hours before replanting to plump them up.Until thisd year I have kept them frost free but they now have to take their chances in the alpine house because i have run out of frost free space.here are a couple more pics.The picotee is from Crete and comes in all shadesI do not have red and have only seen it once in the wild in Cyprus and there was of course no seed at that time.
