>>>>>Oh yeah.... and Dave. Glad you liked the pics. Which one of the 2 dark leaved ones did you think was the distinct one? There was the one with white flowers and the one with pinky flowers. Hi Paul, Both are good, but I particularly liked the pinky flowered one, and because the colour was strong but mainly because it has a stout stem. Good Eucomis hybrids need a stout stem to support the head. The problem with a lot of Eucomis is that they tend to fall over very easily, and need staking. Thus a good sturdy scape, with a good head of flower, and pink ones at that is an extremely useful hybrid. Pinks are more unusual anyway, and aren't that common. Like I said the white is also good and if I remember rightly, (I can't check at thre moment as I'm having problems with viewing the wikki), the other hybrid has dark streaks on the scape where the flowers meet it. I think it was difficult to see on the photo, but was noticable. I've only seen this on one other hybrid, and this is a really nice feature. See http://www.theafricangarden.com/EucomisNEGroup.jpg for a clearer picture of what I mean. Best Wishes, Dave --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
