A new acquisition. Very bright for an erodium i think, my others are all very delicate in comparison.
Erodium carvifolium
It certainly socks you in the eye :D I grow a few of these too. I prefer the paler ones really with the grey green foliage and cheeky faces :)
I love it! It would be perfect to plant in those areas viewed out a window where the color would still be vibrant even at a distance.
Now this is a pretty and unusual lady! and she grows around 2-5" tall??? or???? Elaine
The leaf mound is probably about that 1601, but the flowers are held well above that height. I'll have a look in the morning and try and give you a better idea.
What a beauty, Philomel! Such a beautiful showy bloom on a tiny plant! I'll bet these erodiums won't grow here :(
i'm gonna have to get a few more to plant in my new beds
My collection's growing - i'm clearing out my raised beds in the front to keep them in, they need good drainage
I should think some of them will Weez. I can try sending you some bits/seeds?
Would love to try some, Phil. I just love these little fellows.
You're on Weez. I'll see what i can come up with. Spose it's too tricky to send cuttings?
Probably so, Phil. At least, I think the repercussions are worse. Best to talk to someone in the UK about cuttings. I think seeds are much less a problem... or at least less problems if caught.
Sorry, somehow this came off my 'watched' threads :(
I'll have a look and see if i can glean any seeds Carol
Sure, Phil, don't worry about it. If not this year, then next. I've been collecting seeds like crazy around here. I was invited to a girls night out at a local restaurant, but had to stop at their planter outside to pick nasturtium seeds. I gleaned a whole coat pocket full... got them drying now!
I've got some from this plant. They don't look very fat, so i hope they're viable - time will tell
Yes, i'm catching the bug too. Well done with the nasturtiums!
I also harvested my meconopsis grandis seed yesterday, so I need to send out here and there. I've got to check the old thread. I'm letting the somniferum pods stay on the plants as long as possible, but I'll have to cut them soon, as the pots need to be dumped. We've had a couple nights in the low 30's, so it's time!
