Arisaema sikokianum, grown from seed:

A healthy batch, eh?  What I like about them is the marvelous variation in leaf markings you get from seed.

This group came from several lots of seed.  Also, I find that some seed lots produce varied seedlings.

I would dearly love to grow Veronica caespitosa like that plant of Franz's - I'm sure I remember a similar picture from last year. Maybe a sunny crevice trough is the answer - so far it has not grown anything like this on the sand bed, although some of the other veronicas look to be doing nicely.

Tim, you're right a sunny crevice trough is the answer.
