Author Message   Tony_willis  Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 02:25 pm EST :    I think these have amazing leaves which seem to improve as the plants get older.The flower is really good on this species. I think they will be even better when I get them planted out Tony_willis - Lancashire, Zone "7"   Sunnyday2day  My Favorite Photo My Weather Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 03:21 pm EST :    What a unique plant, Tony! Is it tropical? Sunnyday2day - Michigan, Zone "5"   Tony_willis  Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 04:31 pm EST :    No they come from China and are quite hardy.They are related to podophyllum which I think you call 'may apples'.They produce a large red berry which when it is ripe has a really rich smell.I think they are quite wonderful to look at.They are covered in fine hairs which are not visible in the pictures and when the light reflects of them it is amazing to see.

How large will it grow? Gardenfiend - Germany, Zone "7a"   Ton_hannink  My Garden Posted on Thursday, June 15, 2006 - 10:09 am EST :    Tony. I also have several Dysosma's from China but I have never had a flower. I have the plants in my garden. The leaves of several species are beautiful. Ton_hannink The Netherlands   Tony_willis  Posted on Thursday, June 15, 2006 - 10:36 am EST :    Linda I think Heronswood nursery list at least one(under podophyllum).I think this is a pretty fabulous nursery which we missed visiting when we went to the Olympic Mountains a couple of years ago Mara They grow about a foot high and produce more leaves as the plants mature Tony_willis - Lancashire, Zone "7"   Mike_in_chicago  My Garden Posted on Thursday, June 15, 2006 - 08:27 pm EST :    Love this! You've got quite the wonderful collection. Certainly nothing like the mayapples we have here!

I've started collecting some plants of this genus as companions to the P. peltatum native to my woods. East Asian cousins and species twins have always fascinated me. Jgwoodard - Seoul, Zone "7"   Tony_willis  Posted on Saturday, September 23, 2006 - 10:20 am EST :    The plants have moved on and I thought I would show the fruits which are almost ripe.They are full of pulp and have a lovely rich fruity smell when they are broken open to release the seeds Tony_willis - Lancashire, Zone "7"   Mother_nature  My Garden Posted on Wednesday, October 04, 2006 - 06:39 am EST :    I'm wondering why this is under annuals. Isn't it a perennial rhizome? http://www.hillkeep.ca/per%20podophyllum.htm Mother_nature - TN, Zone "6"   Tony_willis  Posted on Saturday, October 07, 2006 - 11:42 am EST :    yes it is a perennial but the thread was here before perennials were split off into a seperate thread and so I posted the seed pods as a continuation of the existing thread Tony_willis - Lancashire, Zone "7"   Mother_nature  My Garden Posted on Sunday, October 08, 2006 - 06:50 am EST :    I see. I used this plant in a garden game. Mother_nature - TN, Zone "6"
