I managed to get my grubby hands on a few choice divisions from SVO, and I was especially enthralled by the Darkoniums. First to bloom on two spikes is 'Krypton', one of the purple-spotted cultivars.
That's a very cool flower and your photography is outstanding. It shows it off perfectly.
Thank you! I love the size and shape of these Darkoniums. One day I will learn to use my SLR but for now the point and shoot gets the job done. I was talking to Fred at a recent local OS meeting and he mentioned remaking Dragons Glade which to me shares some similarities to Darkonium...(maybe on this upcoming list?)
