Andy, "camera"...don't leave home without it! Would of been good to see the ionantha's blooms but what the heck. The growth in the crown after flowering is a common occurence in the many forms of this plant.
Your albida is oddball, but then who's to say what's normal in our field of collecting?

Ha ha, good point Gonz. I think that applies to the people as well as the plants...but at least we have our fellow collectors to console us in our oddballosity.

But good to know about other ionanthas doing that. I'd rather see it keep getting bigger rather than making a quick clump of a bunch of small plants. We'll see if those two ionanthas and albida bloom the same way next year.

"oddballosity."

I like the sound of that.

Hi Andy, neat plants and the word is just wonderful! Thanks for both. Cheers, Paul
