Hi Baa, Just found this forum and thought I would offer my services on the home front as they say.

I'm starting this because of my fascination for Aconitums.

I have over 20 different cultivars/varieties and I am getting together a list of all or as many named cultivars/varieties and descriptions.

If anybody has any problems with their own I will try to help if I can. For IDing purposes post a photo of the flower and one of the leaves with a brief description and I will see what I can do.

The aim is to write a book on them and a web site dedicated to them.
If anybody does it before me I will rip off their arm and beat them with the soggy end ;oP

I have also posted this on the 'Canadian Gardening', 'Perennials' and 'Vines and Climbers' forums.

Below is Aconitum Grossdentatum taken 3 days ago.
