Drimia maritima |
I would rather be posting an image of this plant in bloom, but I have a hunch it will never bloom here. Or at least it will not bloom here until I can provide it with more space and more light. I naively thought it might be possible to grow it in a cold frame. Now that I've seen just how big it is, it's obvious that it will not fit into any cold frame I have here. So it's being grown as a house plant (some might want to add "when it should be grown as a greenhouse plant").
As it turns out, it's a very handsome foliage plant - at least it is in the early stages of its vegetative growth.
That's Biscuit, our twelve pound ShihTzu, reluctantly providing scale in one of the images.
