Sat, 04/09/2011 - 10:32pmVery magnificent leaves on that Cardiocrinium, James! I have had Cardiocriniums several times and for some years I managed to get flowers every year for a couple years too but the slugs are especially fond of these plants too and they were ultimately devoured by the gastropods.
Last year I had two plants left that barely managed to unfurl one leaf before they disappeared.

Sun, 04/10/2011 - 6:17pmThe main veins do keep the red color but the best color is in the spring and that works for me since later I have a lot more to look at.:)

Sun, 04/10/2011 - 7:00pmI know what you mean-- it has occurred to me that I almost only want to plant early flowering plants, since by mid-summer there are so many wildflowers around, I don't care that much about the garden...lol
