Very elegant and graceful.

Beautiful, Liga. I bought Acidenthera bulbs this spring. SO far absolutely NO FLOWERS. Dont know what I did wrong. Very disappointed.


Monkells Monkells 27 August 2009 20:59:35

That is so beautiful !! Will have to get some ot them!!!!

Jacinta-You have them plant in pots very early in spring(so i did in Latvia),,because they need loner time like to others untill get into flowers.Ask to Rachel,when she planted it,to her is very beautiful achidantheras.

Isn't the on-line journal a wonderful thing? I checked it to see when I planted my acidanthera bulbs - 2nd March!

Oh yes the journal is a good record of mood and garden and I've never taken as many photos in the garden as I have done this year and last.

Thanks Rachel,now i too know when i have to plant it next spring.

God, what an amazing plant - it is so elegant.  I see it has to be protected from early frosts but well worth it.  Enjoy.

Hi Liga, lovely plant, beautiful flower, thats one for our list of bulbs!


Lìga Lìga 28 August 2009 15:17:19

It is very good in this big wind too.

They are beautiful, I remember seeing Rachels and thinking I must get that, I suppose one has to get the bulb in the spring or are they in the shops now?


Joybells Joybells 28 August 2009 17:50:01

Absolutely beautiful Liga....elegance personified :) another must have!!!


Rachel Rachel 28 August 2009 18:34:36

Mytle, don't buy them now. Hang on until spring. I got mine in Lidl/Aldi very cheaply in spring - you just need to get in early on the day that they appear (I sound like a broken record with Lidl/Aldi - anyone would think I had shares!)

It is gorgeous, Liga! Who could ever expect it from that 'grass-looking' plant? Wonderful!

you are not the only one rachel, constantly checking to see whats on special, alot of my garden is thanks to aldi and lidl. they are a gorgous plant but i read it can take a year, planted some and they never even showed their heads, they are very gracefull like swans,sorry alison
