Polianthes Tuberosa 'the pearl'....30th Sept '10..Almost Finished..

Lovely!
I see that yours is the double form. Well worth the effort as far as I'm concerned.

I didnt know there were double and single forms Meanie.....Should i lift them and dry them off for the winter?

Mines the single form.
Definitely lift them as they are very frost tender!

Ok...thanks Meanie...Will they survive dried off?..:>)

I really don't know! Mine come in for the winter, I allow them to wilt through lack of water at first and then start watering again.
Got to be worth a question I'd have thought.

Thank you....I'll just lift the pot in.....

Ah..... it's not in the ground then! I remember now - we're both in too small a pot aren't we!

We are Meanie...is that why we only had one flower each?...:>)

We won't next year!
I've decided to spread mine around in a larger pot, so that I should get more offsets hopefully,

Ok...good idea...I'll copy you lol

Not my fault if it turn out to be a dumb assed idea though!!

Oh yes it will be!!...lol

Wow this is gorgeous Motinot, remember seeing it for sale somewhere in a catalogue, but never seen one growing,lovely, another for the wish list :-)

I have the single form (photos posted) Simbad. That one is available through Burncoose, which is one of the very few mail order companies that I would recommend. Not sure about Motinots double form though.

Thanks Meanie I'll have a look, off to look at your photo now.

Only one flower Simbad...might do better next year...I cant remember which company i got these from.....i did send for them though......

Any bloom at all was a result as far as I was concerned!

But what a flower Motinot :-)

True....:>)
