I'll try again ...and again...and again if necessary!
Perhaps experience from someone more or less in your part of the world might help.  If I recall a recent conversation correctly, Peter Korn from Eskilsby, Sweden grows various Eriogonum successfully (which is to say, to flower).  His website URL is http://www.peterkornstradgard.se.  Go to his photo gallery to see a few in bloom.  I find Peter very forthcoming with information.
Thanks, Hugh. I did not know this site (No problem reading Swedish either). Seems that Peter has a small nursery too. Maybe he has some Erigeron to sell. The climate where he gardens is similar to where I have my summerhouse. (And that's where I plan to plant them.)

Peter has a wonderful nursery and a great garden with vast sandbeds - in Landvetter, some 20-30 km east of Gothenburg - and he grows the most amazing plants in the open. I want to get him to write for us sometime. Anyone visiting souther Swede should get to visit - even more impressive than the Botanic Garden !

It is only 600km (373 miles) and about 9 hours drive from here! (Do you think Norway is a small country? Well, the roads are, anyway.) Still I'll try to go there some time.

He has a great open day at the beginning of his season with (for the past two years) an international speaker and food and so on and the whole place is great. That's the one to look for - this year it was called Nerd's Saturday and it was in April. Well worth going to if you can.

 Peter held another of his Speaker days this autumn.... Ian was one of the Speakers.... but I think that the event is so popular that Peter only needed "word of mouth" to get more than enough people attending.... so, if anyone would like to find out or attend a future event there I suggest that you make email contact with Peter and ask to be kept informed, in case wider announcements are not made...... Cool

Just thought I'd show some updated photos of the color variation found in the Eriogonum lobbii population found on Slide Mountain, Washoe County, NV.

Thanks John for taking the time to find those excellent photos and post them, more buckwheat eye-candy to delight the senses.

It never fails to astound me just how many color variations there are to this choice buckwheat.  Thanks John
