hedychiums!

 I've got blooming hedychiums!  I must say, I'm very pleased.

Densiflorum with big orange spikes, yunannense is incredibly delicate.

Coronarium and Devon Cream each have multiple buds.  The others are
"wait and see" as the French say.

I think I'm going to lop them down at the end of the season and repot in
some much bigger pots.  The following winter I'll try and grow them
through in the tunnel.

H. densiflorum "Assam Orange" survived the winter in the ground (Sussex
Weald clay covered with a few cm of granite chippings), about 1.5 m from
the SE wall of the house.  One much nearer the house wall (about 30 cm)
bloomed for the first time this year.

Thanks Jeff, thats good to know.  I'll try densiflorum in the ground,
but not for a few years.  Best to propagate it first.

I've got a bed with an east wall that rarely freezes; although I guess
the question there will be if it gets enough total light.  Roses like it
well enough...

I lost mine last year, planted a couple of feet from a S. facing low wall
protected from the East too.
