Next please – Bukiniczia cabulica

,

Yesterday I had the very good intention to sort out the Bukiniczia cabulica seeds.
It proved out to be not that simple. Just like in the case of various Armeria species (same Plumbaginaceae family), many of the calyces are empty making it very time consuming to go through a large quantity of ‘fruits’.

I said – next please, there are other species waiting in line at this time. Bukiniczia will have to wait; after all it is a warm germinator. But for those interested to know: there will be seeds :)

Bukiniczia cabulica, cute biennial for the rockery; easy to grow from seeds

Moving on to Lilium philadelphicum…

    I know; it seems there are other species with ‘cabulica’ as epithet. Given the origin, the Kabul of Afghanistan, it makes sense.
