Thank you Pp :-))

Meanie, this one isn't but i do have their BSWJ 306 and that's nice. it's slower to flower than this one, the buds are still tiny :-(
I'd love to have an entire border of them !

Don't.... I'm heading that way already!

This ones a bit of a gem - read the description and you find that the flowers are 6cm across!!

p.s. The "306" looks rather lovely too Louise!
That's one of my favourite sites at the moment - thanks again for the "tip off" on that !

I love Tricyrtis, and this year I have grown some from seed and they are now beginning to flower! I'm very very pleased with them! This one is lovely!

Nice one Karensusan - it's always satisfying to have at least one example that all your own work!
I bought the seeds and lost them, only to find them in my dress coat pocket the other day! How did they get there!?

Things get lost all the time in coat pockets don't they!! You can sow them next spring....
