yet another nice one ,where have all these new varieties come from, ten years ago there were only about ten different ones available.At least thats all I ever came across.
Perhaps i should pollinate a few and see what comes up:
no I dont think so, let Karen do that.lol

I know Bjs - I had no idea there were so many different ones. Have a look at this website (the gardens are not far from me) guess where I am off to lol :O) www.thecrocosmiagardens.net/ I had no idea that this was so close to my home. This internet thingy is something else I just googled crocosmia collections and I could not believe my eyes. It is about 15 miles from me.

Just had a brief look at that site will go back to it later it is full of information about them,First thing i picked up on was that Emily McKenzie needs planting at least 4in deep, sure that would be the reason for me loosing it in the past,when i have purchased it the corms were almost at soil level so thats how i planted them.Silly me.
Thanks for showing me ,Think your visit may cost you.lol
