Hi Nils, seems you searched a bit too quickly, as there IS a German commercial source: "Die Falle" lists it (page 43 on this pricelist: http://www.falle.de/versandpreisliste.pdf) as companion plant for carnivorous bog plants, which may explain why I've never seen it in my lime-heavy Swabian Jura. I have one planted in my newly started bog, but I guess it has yet to wake up. I'll keep you informed how it fares. It's a Lysimachia now? One of those genera I'm not a fan of the lumpers, as i feel it's too wide in its variations. If taxonomists have too much time on their hands, go sort out Campanula, that genus is a mess.

A quick search did not show any source for plants. It is a charming simple plant even compared to the others in its previous genus Trientalis; pure white flowers on very thin stems, so they almost seem to float above the ground. It makes Anemone nemorosa look brash. Almost all flowers have seven petals, and most shoots carry one or two flowers. I will try to provide some pictures for the wiki when they flower. > I think their overall habit is better for natural and semi-natural surroundings than for pots; sadly, as it‘s one of my favorite flowers in the wild. They so rarely set seeds that I never saw any, and I am reluctant to dig some up, but maybe I will try some day. > > Nils > -- Martin (pronoun: he) ---------------------------------------------- Southern Germany Likely zone 7a _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
