Just came around to downloading from the camera. Not an easy find and difficult to propagate.

Lovely thing. Is yours a stingy one? In theory it should grow from seed pretty easily as it is a disturbed ground coloniser.

Yes, stunning. That last pic is really nice Stan and shows your lush, adventurous planting of desirable treasures. I didn't know the inflorescences were that big. It is sometimes available over here (seed and plant) but would definitely need a greenhouse in my area. That said, yours looks so good, I think I'd give it a place!

No sting at all to green leaves..pretty wicked sting on dried out leaves on the ground if you pick them up bare handed.
Thanks guys. I was lucky to be there when UC Berkeley had them for sale. They are not so good in pots mine yellowed until I put in ground. Maybe a large container would work.
