This is a project that i started last year, long term this one… i’m growing from seed south american and Chilean plants..
So this is where it started, seed bought and some that was collected..
these were the bought seeds quite cheap to..
These were a challenge, all sowed into trays and put in the cold frame over winter…
these were a few from last year that have made it over winter..
these are bulbs that will flower in a few more years..
well i hope so !!
here are a few that have germinated and started growing this year, so should flower in 4 or five years hopefully.
This is Flourensia Thurifera
this one is Bomarea Salsilla
and finally Tropaeolum Azureum
As i say it’s long term so i’ll update as things progress, thanks for looking..
