Now here's something different! For some years, following introduction from Ruth, we have grown Eucomis - Pineapple Plants too you Arbuthnot! The first shot shows two fruits cut from plants in the garden this weekend - the plants were falling over and the bulbs will soon be dried off for the winter.The second shot shows a plant in flower - very small, in fact about 2 inches high! I bought the bulb at Columbia Road Flower Market on Sunday 14th August (and took it to St. Paul's Cathedral for the service on the way home!). The man on the stall said that if I planted it now it would flower this year - which it has done! I thought I would keep it for next year - but the man said plant it so I did! I wonder - will it grow big next year? Any thoughts?
