Tue last one, yamadori kibana, what does yamadori stand for? I know for bonsai yamadori means collected from the wild

Wow! Fabulous collection! thanks for the photos! how do you grow them?

[gareth t]

Yamadori also meams wild collected for these little guys too! all legally done of course! there are several Yamadori types floating around in deeper yellow shades, as well as pink, red and green flowered forms. they are all divisions of original wild collected plants, as the norm in the wild is white flowered types.

Nenella, they are all gorwn under glass, the temp goes down to about 5c in winter and up to 30c in summer, although i do try and keep them well shaded and watered in the hotter months, and of course, the most important thinkg for them is air movement, it is constantly breezy in there! They are all potted in Sphagnum moss that i never let completely dry out.
