Asarum maximum Silver Panda

Looks velvety to the touch ...

Looks good, mine is in the ground in a shady place.

It does look like velvet, what a little treasure.

It does actually look like velvet , there's dozens more buds ready to open up , Sue I keep mine in a pot its been in the same one for years ...

Amy your flower is absolutely pristine....ours has been nibbled......lots of tiny holes.....what compost do you have it in.? We took it out of the ground and potted it, but it’s not brilliant..🙁

Thanks DD its in a normal multi purpose compose nothing special with gravel over the surface its been in the same pot for several years I've never changed it .. it stays outside throughout the winter months .. I occasionally put a few slug pellets round the base although its normally a snail I find ...

Thanks Amy.......

So unusual Amy, a real Voodoo flower..

Its a strange one Janey it has a mass of flowers which all cluster around the base almost under the foliage ..

Very unusual, quite a spectacular bloom.

Thanks Ff , I have to say its one of my favourites ...

Its so lovely. I once tried to grow...but the slugs gobbled them up faster than I could say “molluscs”.
