Dear all, This year we have a brillant example of a winterflowering Kniphoffia: K rooperii. We only had severe frost the end of November. All the flowerbuds remained intact throughout the winter and the flworing has lasted since early January. In the Northeast of Spain I saw a few days ago another Kniphofia in flower marqued as being K sarmentosa (glauce green naroow foliage spike elongated with red/yellow flowers). Can anyone confirm that this species is indeed winterflowering. As far as I can find in the literature the only winter flowering species are K rooperi and coddiana (it was certainly not one of these two) Look forward to yor help Greetings -- Lauw de Jager Bulb'Argence South of France (zone 9 (olive trees) emailto: dejager@bulbargence.com Site http://www.bulbargence.com/
