I didn't even realize there were so many different crocosmias. We only have three. They're all lovely, I can't choose a favourite.
Thank you for the lovely comments......... I have around 280+ varieties in my collection, so plenty more photos for you to look at if you want to see them... Mark
It's "Lucifer", "Emily MacKenzie" and the old, orange one that my grandmother grew. She inherited it from my grandfather's grandmother, so it's an old species. Edit: I would like to make a wish: Could you please start a blog and put your Crocosmia in there? Write a bit about each one, show a photo or three, if you have time for it? Or better yet, put them in the PlantStew so we could find them whenever we want?
Hi Droopy Yes, i will have a go at the blog thing........ I don't know what a plantstew is yet.... not been on that one!!! Mark
PlantStew is a database slowly filling up with info with the help of all registered members. You can visit 'Plants' in the main menu, and you'll be directed there. This online database is a big help for all who look for info on plants, and will only get better with time. Yes, I really like this feature, can you tell?
LOL yes I can tell...... Well, I have added about 20 plants or so, to see what happens... eventually if it goes well I will add all 280+ varieties of crocosmia. Thats a bigger crocosmia database than any other site I know of.
Hi Mr_Crocosmia, just to let you know that I have received all of your plant suggestions and I will be adding them as soon as I can. I'm a little wrapped up with deadlines just now so if they don't get added today you'll know why Thanks!
Hi Frank Ok, thank you for letting me know...... One of them wants deleting. It was entered as Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora 'African Dawn'. I entered it again as it should be Crocosmia 'African Dawn'. Thats why there are two of them....... in case you were wondering. Thanks Mark
