Kay recommended it to us and wilsonni ssp crytophlebium, and Acmena normanbyii. we've never been disappointed. It has beautiful flushes of bright red new growth for long periods that fade to maroon & its usual green. This one we grow in a 200mn Lepiderema pulchella waterwell type pot, and I've noticed it uses a reasonable amount of water, and depletes its reservoir every 2-3 If I had room for only one plant that can grow into a days.

  • Newsletter No. 264 – May 2011
    Newsletter No. 264 – May 2011 April Plant Sale Sunday was cloudy, windy and cold and the crowds stayed away, although the numbers picked up a little in the afternoon. Although we showed a profit, some thought will be given to be sure we maximise our return next year. A big thank you to Arthur and Linda Pape for the use of their gardens and to all those club members who helped out over the weekend . Special mention to Frank for his organisation, Tina, Sheila and Penny for manning (womaning?) the canteen all weekend, Matt and Pam for the BBQ, and so many others …a huge and heart-felt THANK YOU! The weather had been nothing short of spectacular for the week preceeding, but the Plant Sale weekend, April 9 and 10, dawned cloudy and windy with the promise of rain. The crowds were good on Saturday morning, and all the sellers reported a steady trade. But the afternoon was quiet, and when the predicted rain hit at around 3.30 most closed up shop for the day. The now traditional BBQ tea for the workers started early, and was a lot of fun, with good food, fine wine, great company and entertainment courtesy of Arthur, Frank, Judith and Ade. The ‘Man in the Silly Hat’ sells another plant We have a good number of plants that did not sell and we will be holding stalls at markets and the like over the next few months to try and move them. We will let you know where and when, so that everyone can assist with the sales.
