tigerlily, how big is your T. princeps? Could you post us a pic? I still don't know if mine is a real one, I would expect it to be as the seller was a serious grower, it still has to get proper leaves I think, I'm not sure if they show the white backs at the baby stage, but it is a while since I got it (at least 1.5 years) and it's slow to bulk. They are supposed to from an early age. I'll take a pic later, the backs are green.

If it happens not to be correct, I may get one from the guy with the seedlings, hopefully they are correct, seed is expensive but may be worth it. The T. martianus khasia Hills form is a nice one.

I am worried about many of the plants I have put in and the size they can get, I have them too close I know for the size they can get, but while they are growing I can fill in and move things later if need be, then I have to find more space!

I have put the two Musa sikks that I left in the greenhouse/shed in the ground, they will stay there. No room for the rest, another bed is due.

I would love to visit Plant Delights, but couldn't trust myself, so many interesting plants. We do have Crug Farm Plants here who will be doing mail order soon,but haven't yet managed to get set up, probably too busy. They are plant hunters with Dan Hinkley.

This is the M sikk that lost all the stem and has a pup.
