Eucomis bicolor (Flower close up)

This is the first year that I've grown Eucomis and I can see it becoming a bit of a collection next year.

There are several quite nice ones my favorite has yet to flower will be a few weeks yet.

This sounds like something to look forward to...........

:-))

great pic:)

Thank you :))

I love this one, used to be my favourite until Meanie posted his other one..forgot what it's called now !

fabulous.

Thank you :o)

how specialised are these to grow, they are certainly very attractive. I saw a similar one in a walled garden in Somerset but Im not sure that planting in my shady garden would work??

I have some planted in quite a lot of shade which grow ok, E. bicolour seems hardy here and quite easy, it self seeds in the garden.

im guessing norfolk is no warmer than worcestershire??
self seeding is good.

-15 this winter ((Brrrrr))

was worse than that here!!! and 8" of snow to drive through at 5.30 in the morning!!

Think I would have stayed in bed!

sensible people would ~ and did!!!
