Dear all, I'm catching up with some of the latest posts. That was a beautiful picture from Bill Dijk of Weldenia candida. At this stage in my addicition I appreciate seeing pictures of things I shouldn't try to grow since they need such different conditions than I can easily give them so I shouldn't even think of wanting them. I am also grateful to Dennis Szeszko who did such a nice job of setting up the wiki page for Weldenia. Dennis if you ever get a chance to see the other species in the wild, it would be wonderful to have a picture for the wiki. I am sure you are correct that none of the rest of us would have much of a clue about it. Tsuh Yang asked: "but i guess i didn't know there were any that were tuberous or geophytical. are there any others in the family?" This statement from Dennis is on the Wiki Weldenia page: "This rare and unusual genus belongs to the Commelinaceae family, or Spiderworts, that includes plants such as Dichorisandra, Tradescantia, and Commelina. " I've never heard of Dichorisandra, but aren't there tuberous or geophytic Tradescantia and Commelinas? Mary Sue
