Has anyone seen anything labelled Eremurus elwesii more recently than the mid-'60s? It was a race of Eremurus robustus developed here at Colesbourne by Henry John Elwes. There is a wonderful photograph of him inspecting his Eremurus bed, with the inflorescences towering over him. It would be great to restore "E. elwesii" to the garden here, but I fear that it is no more. John Grimshaw Dr John M. Grimshaw Sycamore Cottage Colesbourne Nr Cheltenham Gloucestershire GL53 9NP
