My Oxalis melanosticta 'Ken Aslet' that I got from Mary Sue didn't bloom last year but they did this year. The leaves are deliciously lined with silver hairs. I am growing them in a 4" pot though (it's only 3" deep (70cm)). I'll have to repot it the coming summer into a deeper pot. My O. polyphylla var. heptaphylla is really putting on a show. I really like the leaves but the flowers are also fantastic. http://flickr.com/photos/xerantheum/… Nhu Berkeley, CA -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/xerantheum/ On Fri, Oct 2, 2009 at 8:14 AM, Mary Sue Ittner <msittner@mcn.org> wrote: > For many years I had no flowers on my Oxalis melanosticta 'Ken > Aslet'.
