This is just too much! We all know the reputation of this
species of
being difficult to grow but it seems it is a weed with you.
Stunning!"
I should have said that the plant illustrated was not mine! It was
exhibited at an AGS show in 2002 by Ian Leslie a who gardens near Mt
Snowdon in North Wales. I have grown a similar plant under the name
Romulea nivalis which was not difficult but also not very exciting - I
planted it out a few years ago, it survives but does not flower.
