Dahlia merckii .
A cutting of Dahlia merckii in the greenhouse has surprised me by rushing up into flower. It is rather pale as a result
but it has plenty of time to darken. It should keep flowering until the first frosts of autumn , by which time I will probably
be heartily sick of it, so I'm enjoying it while it's fresh.

Pleione Fuego .
The Pleione have been spectacular this year, but are mostly coming to an end now. Fuego flowered well last year and I thought
it was going to skip this year, but it has performed well.

Billbergia 'Santa Barbara' .
I got this from a nursery in the USA in 1980. I thought it was a fabulous thing then, and I think it now. It doesn't produce a lot of flower
for me, and it is rather pale, but it has charisma (and staying power).

Ramonda myconii .
Looking fantastic at the moment. I decided a few years ago that I should start some serious breeding work with Ramonda,
and duly pollinated a lot of flowers and collected a lot of seed but so far I have been lamentably inept at
raising the seedlings! Some further investigation required.

I have a lot of good intentions when it comes to updating this site, and I try to keep a note
about what is going on, if you are interested.
