Dear Friends, Thanks to a fellow PBS er, I just got a few seedlings of Lapageria rosea. This may be totally futile, but as I looked around I saw little info on my favorite site: The PBS wiki. In fact, there is no entry at all. So a few Qs for more knowledgeable PBSers: Does Lapageria rosea have a bulb (tuber or enlarged root)? Has anyone outside of Greater San Francisco especially the mid-west had success with this species? I know UC Bot Garden Berkeley has a great collection but who else even grows it? Can anyone suggest good growing conditions? Any words of warning? Thanks Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
