A lot of flowers have gone on and on this past year because of the mild autumn. I have a pot of schizostylis stood in a cold greenhouse and the last flower only faded last week. As you live in Dorset, I'm guessing you live in a mild area which will prolong the flowering season in any case

Thanks Andrew, yes it's been very mild until a couple of days ago. Sorry to be a pain, but do you think it's the schizostylis "Jennifer". there are so many of them. If you don't mind looking at my latest photos I submitted they are there to be seen. A thousand thanks.

p.s. just added a picture.

Titchy - in the Google photos I looked at, 'Jennifer' seemed to be a slightly salmon pink. Try contacting the owner of the website www.eclecticplants.co.uk as they hold the National Collection of schizostylis and may be able to identify it for you

there is one that has Bing in its name. that is a pink one that I used to have until the previous hard winters.

Thank you Seaburngirl and Andrew of course, I have just sent an E-mail to the suggesed Website, and maybe I'll get a response, it's worth a try. I have so many plant books and almost in all of them the colors vary. "Jennifer" is salmony in one, slight pink in in an other one, and on line it's even worse. One Website shows Jennifer red. I am totally confused. I'll get there eventually. Thank you both

SBG - Viscountess Byng

Pretty pink and looks quite like my Schizostylis or 'Kaffir Lily' 'Fenland Daybreak'?

thanks andrewr new some one would know :o)

I've just had it confirmed Andrew, by Penny and David from the website you gave me. They too are almost positive it is Viscountess Byng. They ruled out Jenifer, and Sunrise, Fenland Daybreak and some others after I took a close up picture of a flower and sending it to them. So you were right and also Seaburngirl. So thank you all.

Another satisfied customer. Perhaps I should raise my consultancy fee :-)

do I get half Andrewr ???????

No just think, you've done a good deed and one day you'll be rewarded. Somehow!
