Very elegant, Amy.

Lovely Amy are these a white variety ?
22 Jul, 2010
love this amy,, are they easy to grow
22 Jul, 2010
Thanks everyone .. yes this is white Ray / Jane .. .. I have had it for a long time and couldn't remember it's full name ..
I think this is in exactly the right spot San because it thrives here , I daren't plant anything else near it for fear of upsetting it , I'm hoping it will get bigger and have more ' Tails ' each year .. . the root part is almost like a giant spider which you spread out on the ground with hardly any cover of soil over it ...it likes sun / shade and plenty of water in dry weather , which it hasn't had lately ...

How fantastic, it looks like the queen of all it surveys, a perfect setting for it!

More familiar with the yellow ones Amy but love white flowers so on the wish list .
23 Jul, 2010
Isn't that strange , I've only ever seen white ones Ray / Jane ...I shall be keeping my eyes open for the yellow variety from now on :o)
23 Jul, 2010
E.stenophyllis is latin name - had to look it up of course - for yellow one so perhaps a seperate variety to the others ?
23 Jul, 2010
I've been looking it up as well ' E. bungei ' it looks lovely .. ... apparently there's also one called E.robustus which grow 8ft tall with pale peach flowers sounds amazing . . I will look that up on Google ..!

Lol Amy steady not spoken Latin since the Romans marched through here then the Vikings arrived guess they planted oil seed rape as they pillaged then finally the French is it any wonder cant pronounce anything ! lol
23 Jul, 2010
LOL... I can't speak anything .. I just copy what's in front of me , it might as well be double dutch .. ;o))
23 Jul, 2010
Thanks Amy forgotten about them .. lol

Amy had some ten years, and the others are only a year old.....
23 Jul, 2010
What a shame , I wonder if the soil makes a difference Angela ours is acid !
24 Jul, 2010
You could be right, ours is not.......
24 Jul, 2010
