Good grief you are good aren't you?
Yes it is the non variegated one.
Houttuynia cordata.
Cordata translates as kordaat in Dutch which translates into bold,resolute and that is how it behaves in my garden.
It boldly goes wherever it can.
But I love it when it is in flower. It's one of those thugs that softens the heart, sigh.

It's a beautiful plant - I've got the chameleon one Dutchy - it spreads like wildfire but I keep it in containers  I guess I'll have to find another one now  |

Clematis vitalba

Post by Plocket on Oct 3, 2007 16:56:47 GMT
YAY!!! You're both right! Clematis vitalba, aka Old Man's Beard or Traveller's Joy. You wouldn't want it in a little garden - it grows to at least 7 metres!!!

Know it but won't blow the whistle and nor is Plocket allowed an answer. ;D As I still think it is the one we said ;D Curious as to what you think it is. Since it is in your garden you get a better view of it. |

Think its the Jersey Lily or Amaryllis belladonna or somteimes called the Naked Lady.

Post by Ruthie on Oct 3, 2007 18:59:04 GMT
You got it jlo. Amaryllis belladonna, not to be confused with the "amaryllis" sold on the Christmas market which is actually a Hippeastrum!!!
I love it. They get better every year planted in free draining soil in as much full sun as my garden can give them!!

They grow really well in the Channel Islands but IMO think that they do look a bit strange without any leaves |
|
|
|
Post by Ruthie on Oct 3, 2007 19:21:58 GMT
I don't really think about that because the flowers are so beautiful. Because they have HUUUGE leaves from late winter on, you can't grow anything under them to hide the bare stems tho'. Or if you can I haven't thought of anything!

They get better every year planted in free draining soil in as much full sun as my garden can give them!! Er just some nit picking perhaps but Naked Lady aka Belladonna Amaryllis is a Nerine as far as I know. The plant just has one real nick name which it shares with another small white European wildflower bulb. It got its Amaryllis nickname from the growers because it sold easier but it is, as far as I know, still officially a Nerine. Perhaps a specialist on this topic can help us out here? |
