It sounds as if Mary Sue had a great time in Australia, and that the rest of us have a lot of great stuff to look forward to on the wiki. Mary Sue mentioned Oxalis ‘Ken Aslett’. I’m still on the beginner’s page with Oxalis, although I do grow ‘Ken Aslett’ in the ground of a protected cold frame. It was dormant all summer but came back into growth about two weeks ago. It bloomed here last winter. In the same frame I grow Oxalis purpurea ‘Garnet’. It too has started to grow again, and I was surprised to see that the emerging foliage is all green without a trace of the beet color which presumably gives this plant its name. I imagine that the green is its hot weather color – until yesterday, daytime temperatures here were still topping 80º F daily – and that the foliage will darken as we cool off.
