Tricyrtis hirta "Kohaku"

Worth the wait, a wonderful bloom.

Thanks Lemondog!
Got one more Tricyrtis species in bud and then that's it for this year. Of the fifteen or so species/cultivars that I have just one has failed to bloom.

It looks terrific!

It was!

Why do you say: "it was!"

Just the one flower.................

Does it grow outside?

Maybe it needs some fertilizer?

T'was just a small root cutting.

I guess it just needs to get established.

I don't hold out too much hope...............

That's too bad! :>(

Did you get affected by "Stormagedon" which hit the U.K.? I saw the reports on the news today. It looked like a hurricane hit the country.

Not really - just lots of leaf debris from the deciduous trees around here. No damage. My house is tall though, and was in line with the storm so it provided a good wind break.

That's good news. So you didn't get the really strong winds and rain, right?

No more than 35/40mph gusts apparently. Even my Lobelia tupa and the Acanthus (all 2 metres plus) are still upright.
Boy did it rain though - not what we need as the first frost approach really..............

Those are strong winds; however, not major damaging winds, though (luckily).

The rain is good for the plants...but not if it's flooding.

You're expecting your first frost tonight?

Cold and wet? Never good!

It's been a very chilly 68ºF (20ºC) here in San Diego over the last 3 days, also. We've even had some rain the last few days (which is a little unusual for this early in the season) however, we need the rain so badly.

It's back to somewhat warm 83ºF (28ºC) weather by Friday - Sunday.
