Nomocharis aperta

Nomocharis aperta are in the Liliaceae family and just as beutiful as it's taller cousins. It was first collected in China 50 years ago.

I love that!

How tall is this one? ..........and the usual question - scent?

It has a simple elegant beauty

wow, Mark, you always manage to find unusual and very interesting things.

I'll check scent in a moment

Lenjo I find these plants cos I usually stay off the beaten track and go to nurseries who carry the unusual or specialist. there is much point going to garden centres as they are more interest it high turn over although ... I did get Pelargonium peltatum at an ordinary garden centre.

I have done a little of that too, I am always scouting for something different. I remember finding a few different things and then in a year or two it would be more common. My sister lives in the Bay Area in California and when I visit I find wonderful things to bring home which is not always seen here. I have taken cuttings from there and have some unusual things for my Pacific NorthWest climate. I have a lovely lavatera and a little plant called anisodontea which I saw for sale for the first time here at the tulip festival. In order for these things to survive here I have to take cuttings each fall.

I try to go to plant sales also

No scent btw
