What's blooming in my garden

OT: I have some nice variegated Rhodeas that are flowering, anyone know
how to pollinate them? Tony? Does anyone know if there is a Rhodea group
out there in the US? I've got a couple that are really nice but I want to
get a few more. Oh, and they are hardy on MI so I think they should do Ok
in OH at my uncle's house.

Dear John,

O.K. I'll bite. What is a Rhodea? Can you tell us about your plants and
maybe supply a picture. I can't find this in any of my books. There is a
Rohdea in the Convallariaceae family in IPNI and Tony Avent is listing some
Rohdea japonica with variegated leaves and you are asking a Tony about
hardiness so maybe that is what you mean? These don't look like Southern
California plants. How are you growing them?
