The plant still has a few green leaves so the winter didn't completely finish it off. Maybe something more will come of it this spring.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-38204662276620966332011-02-16T01:45:42.146+01:002011-02-16T01:45:42.146+01:00I'd love to know if "Zalu" ovata is ...I'd love to know if "Zalu" ovata is as beautiful as it appears in the photos, and if it produces seeds easily.

Bakker is a UK-based company (I think), but have a distribution base in Italy. http://bakker-it.com/<br /><br />Earlier in the month we had driven over into Campania from Molise, via the Matese National Park. We went as far as Piedimonte Matese (and picked up a couple rounds of pecorino cheese along the way from a roadside vendor!).Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-70747838185522743072010-05-13T07:49:50.261+02:002010-05-13T07:49:50.261+02:00Bakker?

I'm still waiting on seeds I ordered from California. It's been a month now. Going to have to start my banana peppers late this year I guess. Good luck with your seedlings!<br />StellinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-32072789321718758222010-05-08T17:18:08.379+02:002010-05-08T17:18:08.379+02:00Stellina - this time around I wasn't too worri...<b>Stellina</b> - this time around I wasn't too worried for customs since Bakker has a distribution center in Como. If I had ordered direct from the UK, it might have been a different story! In any case, so far I've had success with rootstock purchased from Bakker, but none of the bulbs (himalayan blue poppy, allium and some others) came up this year. Not sure if it was me (I did plant all of them in the fall) or the items themselves. I won't order any more bulbs from them again.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-31343867694398315892010-04-27T15:47:20.345+02:002010-04-27T15:47:20.345+02:00Glad the Customs didn't take your treasures th...Glad the Customs didn't take your treasures this time!!! I also fell in love with salvia and planted plenty for this years garden. Last year it did so well in the Campanian soil. The garden centers around here tend not to offer flowers for the giardino after May. So I ordered seeds and planted them.<br />StellinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-75275628395498487412010-04-18T20:13:16.234+02:002010-04-18T20:13:16.234+02:00Fern - I just want to be able to joke with my fath...<b>Fern</b> - I just want to be able to joke with my father-in-law and tell him what they are.
