Blerrie Innernet is amazing.<BR/><BR/>Yes, the R. triflora looked just like the actual flower in Mr Manning's book, but I was thrown off by the habit of the ones we saw: right flat on the ground and really dense...but I don't know how widely these things are permitted to vary within a species?<BR/><BR/>Ha! And I had the E. mammosa but didn't read the fineprint about the other colours...wow.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-31137517718200831442009-03-29T17:55:00.000-04:002009-03-29T17:55:00.000-04:00Plant treasures - so beautifully recorded - Marie ...Plant treasures - so beautifully recorded - Marie YOU could publish a book on Table mnt flowers soon! Can't believe I missed out on the opportunity of giving you a proper, truly wanted gift - sorry I didn't know you needed the guide. Eventhough I'm supposed to be abotnist, I don't get much further than basic match-the-picture-to-the-plant identification....(blush). The roella looks like it could be R.triflora and the erica is the white form of Erica mammosa. Interesting that the sunbirds have 'learnt' / know that this offers a nectar reward just like the more common red and pink forms of mammosa. Argh - I really miss our walks and having a fellow plant enthusiast!Marijkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067433608013964750noreply@blogger.com
