They had a great catalogue for lovers of exotic Andean crops. Where for example can you get hold of Basul- Erythrina edulis these days?Rhizowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898344291012563139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11783188.post-90731595399385956532011-06-17T18:42:46.435+02:002011-06-17T18:42:46.435+02:00@Bejdzix Thanks, she's a very precious princes...@Bejdzix Thanks, she's a very precious princess.<br /><br />@Rhizowen I'm not sure, it's the one the HSL supply and they don't seem identify it precisely either. Presumably brachystachya but the name Fat Baby has only recently become popular and I don't know if refers to the original form or a selected cultivar. Seems to growing well though, so I'll find out soon!Catofstripeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626451503696948747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11783188.post-76832479110143262292011-06-16T00:46:10.854+02:002011-06-16T00:46:10.854+02:00nice cat :)nice cat :)Bejdzixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13663376600374473656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11783188.post-81872239445864345232011-06-15T23:58:41.700+02:002011-06-15T23:58:41.700+02:00Good luck with your achocha - is that fat baby ach...Good luck with your achocha - is that fat baby achocha or lady's slipper?<br /><br />Fat baby (Cyclanthera brachystachya) does fine outdoors in the UK and will often self seed. It's very vigorous.<br /><br /> The lady's slipper (C. pedata) isn't as hardy, but I saw it growing quite successfully outside in Belgium last year.Rhizowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898344291012563139noreply@blogger.com
