Years ago when I was reading the plant collecting books written by Frank Kingdon-Ward, I read about the dainty, nodding pink flowers of a Nomocharis that he found on a mountainside in northern Burma. This was later considered to be a lily, and named for his wife, using her maiden name of Macklin. This week one is blooming under an apple tree in my garden, six years after sowing the seed. It is lovely! So different from the usual big bright lilies that are usually grown. I have posted a picture of it to the wiki: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… -- Diane Whitehead Victoria, British Columbia, Canada maritime zone 8 cool mediterranean climate (dry summer, rainy winter - 68 cm annually) sandy soil _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php
