Coldframe Pleasures






The Cyp pubescens I have been posting about over the past few weeks has pretty much opened its flowers now (all of those Cyps are now in the coldframe). It is pictured in the first pic. The Arisaema sikokianum that has been accompanying the Cyps is also in the coldframe (second pic) and is almost totally opened. The next two photos are of a Cyp 'Gisela' that I just purchased today (not the one I have been picturing - it is darker and is still far from blooming). I very much like this variation and it is a very robust plant. the last photo is of a very uncommon Dodecatheon species, D. dentatum (dentate shooting star). The white-flowered species are always harder to get, and this one also has unique foliage and, as you can see, much shorter stems.
