Re: Fockea crispa
Not the most spectacular genus of periplocoids for flowers but still nice to have them bloom. How's the tuber going?
Meve and POWO have it as Fockea capensis.

Re: Fockea crispa
Looking lovely Mike, I don't seem to have many Flowers on mine, do f.edulis flowers smell ?, my Fockea crispa used to scent the whole greenhouse.

Re: Fockea crispa
Well done Mike. Mine's never flowered - and the root just grows down rather than out. Not my favourite plant I'm afraid.
