P tuberosus

Post by Mike P »

At last a full house on one of the P tuberosus. This one came from the late Bill Weightmans’ collection and has quite a chunky tuber.

Yes, nice pot, but you might need to break it one day to repot once the tuber has completely filled it?!

Very nice Mike. Very clear yellow flower. A long time ago I had one whose flowers were almost the same colour as the stems, so at first I didn't notice it was in flower.
