  2. I thought this was a completely new one for me but I have had them in blue under the name of triteleia. However, I am sure they were not as early as your beautiful Christmas star. Amelia

  3. Quite a beautiful star! I've not seen 'Alberto Castillo' before; in fact, I'm not sure any of my suppliers carry a named white... will have to check! Ipheon has been on my no.2 wish list - not being at all sure whether it will grow here. Perhaps I should give it a go anyway..? ;-)

    1. i don't know how hardy they are Amy, this one is growing outside in a south facing well drained alpine bed.

  4. Surely this isn't growing outside, Brian? Lovely to see it now, wherever it is
