Re: Name for Giraffe Knee

From: Jim and Lucy Sampson <wiz at texas.net> on 1999.02.21 at 03:44:50(3049) Peter, Thank you for sharing this information with me. If the G. boivinii had been given to you by Josef Bogner from Munich so long ago, is this a rare plant at all? May be best if kept in the botanical gardens collection then. It would certainly be interesting to see it in the grey shade as well. The leaves on this are a very deep green. +More Have you had many tubers created in the years you have had that green G. boivinii, or are they hard to propagate? Thank you, Lucy Sampson wiz@texas.net There is a spectacular grey and three shades of green clone (the same as the plant used to describe this species) in cultivation that is worth looking out. The Kew plant of this species (which we got from Josef Bogner in Munich, Germanymany years ago) is the green form.>
