Weldenia candida

Howdy All,

Weldenia candida is one of those things on my wish list if I can ever
obtain it. The pictures that Lesley Cox has posted on the SRGC site
in the past have been to die for, so it is one I covet now. Not sure
how well it would grow in my conditions but worth a try. I had never
done any study into it so it was interesting to see that it was in
commelinaceae (I think that may be spelled incorrectly?) as I had
wondered if that was the case judging by its flowers. So nice to see
it being discussed here as it is a rather striking plant, although
definitely not something easily available in my country (please
someone tell me I'm wrong there.... because I want it!!
<grin>). Hopefully more people will try growing it because of this
discussion as it would be a wonderful addition to any collection I think.

Keep all the interesting discussions happening everyone.... I might
not respond to them often but I read them all!! LOL Can't help my
gardening addiction now can I??

Cheers.
