One of my favourites, and best of all, the tubers seem to double in number every year!

I was going to say Meanie would love this...and here you are!

I couldn't resist getting my pot out and having a poke today Tetrarch (quite easy as the soil is bone dry). Seems to have gone from two tubers to five!

You should start a specialist nursery Meanie! Sorry to be rude Magnoliamad..welcome to the madhouse! No, seriously, this is a brilliant site, hope to see more of your pictures.

That would be a dream Tetrarch!
Only another eight weeks before I can refresh the soil and start them off again!
I'm sure Magnoliamad (welcome) will get used to us hijacking other peoples posts!

and Im possibly the worst..must be "after freezing cold madness". Within a few weeks..it will be plants all the way..almost.
I dont see why you dont try it Meanie..you grow some great plants!

Tetrarch - the things that I like to grow would require great input in terms of light, heat etc.
One of my Plumbago seeds has germinated this afternoon!

I love gloriosa too. I tried to grow it in the conservatory, but no luck. Such a beauty!
