Wiki Photos--Acis, Oxalis, Paeonia

Mary Sue,
The Oxalis are beautiful, I'll have at least ten of each;
only kidding. My love for these plants grows and grows. I
am still waiting for the Palmifrans; perhaps one day someone
will send in some of those bulbs to the BX. Wow! The Peonies
are OK but alas, I cannot tell a lie the big "O" wins my praise.
Thank you for sharing all of those beautiful pictures as well
as the other information you give to us daily.
Chris

Dear All,
My Acis (Leucojum) autumnale is blooming again. I was trying to dry it
out
to divide it, but it was already shooting. Even so when I divided and
replanted it, it didn't seem to be set back very much. I lost the ones I
put in the ground, but they are increasing rapidly in containers. I added
a
picture of them blooming this year and a close-up.
Uli shared a really beautiful Oxalis he grows that originated in Ecuador.
Today after days of fog and overcast and only a few hours of sunshine
late
in the day, we had sun all day and the plants he sent me burst into
bloom.
The new pictures on the wiki are from Uli, found under Oxalis sp.

Finally David Victor has identified a couple of the Paeonia that we saw
in
May blooming in his amazing garden. I was pleased that the two species
are
ones that Jim Waddick suggested might work in Mediterranean gardens:
Paeonia mascula and Paeonia peregrina.
