Hello All, Very dramatical flowering indeed. I believe that this species is now officially Dracunculus muscivorous, which seems quite logical to me. Originally from the mediterranean islands Mallorca (Baléares)à and Sardinia and is very much aty ease in our gardens here. The plant can easily be distinghuised from D vulgaris (apart from it flowers) by the shape of its leaves (a single long lobe, D vulgaris: tri lobes with white markings) Greetings Lauw de Jager http://www.bulbargence.om/ -----Original Message----- Jim W. wrote: Helicodiceros muscivorous is a Mediterranean native that for all intents should not be hardy in my climate.
