Splash of colour

17 years ago

Sorting out some photos and came across these from a couple of months ago. Just love the colour contrasts.

Ae. nudicaulis

{{gwi:450298}}

Nidularium? "survivor". This Nidularium? is in full shade, probably came from a NSW or Brom Soc Oz show in Sydney about 20 years ago. First time I've seen it flower - for some bizarre reason, the deer usually pull these ones out and leave them on the driveway. I just keep sticking them back in and hoping. The burst of colour this year was a really a pleasant surprise.

If anyone knows what "survivor" is, it'd be great to find out.

Cheers, Paul

Looks like Nid. rutilans (formerly regelioides), Paul.

Paul, if it has red flowers then I agree with Lisa.

Hi Lisa, bromadams. Yep, the flowers are hot pink to match the bracts. Many thanks for the info. Cheers, Paul

Hi Paul,
Nice pic's; I have a Nidularium NOID like yours also and thanks to all of you I now have a name for mine as well.

All the best, Nev.

Agreed, Paul, the colour contrast of your nudicaulis is startling, and very beautiful.

Nudicaulis and hybrids are not happy in my company, Neither are chantinii or fasciata and their hybrids for that matter. I am not sure if it is the climate, or just me :(

All the same, it is lovely to see pics of those that are happy and well grown. Thank you.
