Canarina canariensis

Dear All,

Uli who is back from his travels asked me to make a wiki page for him and
to add text he had written and a picture of his Canarina canariensis. He
has a new digital camera so may be contributing more pictures in the
future. He has written more text than we usually do on the wiki, but his
text is very interesting. There don't seem to be very many species in this
genus and I don't know if anyone grows any of the others or even how to
find out about them so we probably don't need to leave room. I also added a
Bill Dijk picture I had of this plant.

Bill sent me seed one year which I shared with a couple of people (both
seeds and the plants since it germinated really well and I didn't think I'd
have room for all of them.) Mine continue to come back every year and look
healthy but they haven't ever grown in the way that Uli describes, nor have
they bloomed. We are talking a couple of feet tall each year, not
scrambling on anything. I am wondering what they need I am not providing.
