Today cooled things down! Yep, as in Francombe. I bought just one lot of seeds years ago - lots of american species - and they all germinated really well, but it was the middle of my moving around homeless period, and they didn't make it through. (Though I still have some L. columbianum babies in suspended animation - how can something survive for five years of neglect and not grow?) Poor things.
Love to see the speciosums you've got :D
