In my local market they only sell parsley and fresh green beans.

I'm totally excited by the size and numerous bloomings!!
 
Finishing out the Neofinetia season here are the Amami Island forms which tend to flower late (early to mid August here). I've found them to be vigorous growers, clumping up very nicely, but also a bit more frost tender. This one was set back badly during the cold winter of 2010/11. As you can see, it has recovered nicely.

Great!!!
My Amami Island strain flowers in June every year.
Then, I have this brand new acquisition in spike.
The tag says Amami Island strain but I doubt it is even straight neo.
It is very very small plant with many fans, and the spikes are very dark.
I could be wrong, but I somehow believe this one might be Baby Angel ( neo. falcata x Lou Sneary).
I will be happy either way, but can't wait!!!
