Title: Ipheon uniflorum 'Alberto Castillo'
Post by: Lyn and Malcolm on March 29, 2010, 06:10:39 PM

Actually one of the plants we bought from a nursery while attending a lecture in Sussex by Helen Dillon.
The plant is now in our garden.

A perfect photo of a lovely flower.
Is it in flower right now Malcolm?

Beautiful flower and great photo, Malcolm.  This is one that might grow here with a bit of acidifying -- another to add to a huge wish list.

Eric (Palustris)

Can you tell us what causes the plant to die.  :'(

George

Yes the plant is in flower now, as are the other Ipheon uniflorum's in the garden.

Monica

Thank you. Looks like you will soon have to move house, with the files on IGpro and plants to get rapidly increasing in size. ;D
