Saruma henryi


Saruma henryi (Saruma henryi)

Not yet planted, this is a shade loving plant. It's the only one in its genus! I like the 'creased' leaves, and the three-petalled flowers.

It's so unusual, isn't it! I like 'different' plants. Sorry you couldn't get hold of one.

So this is it. It's lovely but not a patch on the true Henry.

I'd have to agree to that, Toto, but isn't it an interesting plant! Glad you found the photo.

Oh, and by the way, I just looked at Andrew's plant list - surprise, surprise - it's there! lol.

Oooh, what a lovely flower! I'm not surprised Andrew has this cos I've never heard of it!!

It reminds me of Bryony Barbara , does it creep and climb ?

I don't think so - it just clumps up! I planted the shade plants today - they look great in the border. :-)))

Thanks..it looks more 'at home' in its new shady home, rather than 'posed' for a photo on the lawn! lol
