Trachelium caeluleum

15 years ago

Trachelium c. (cannot get my tongue around the caeluleum) is a plant my horticultural friend brought up from his garden in Sydney when he came to visit 12 months ago. I'd not only never seen it in any nursery but had never previously heard of it. It's heads of deep pure blue fowers are just appearing, and while I can't quite attain the detail that is in Mary-ann's pics, it is quite a preety bunch of tiny flowers. Just thought it might be of interest, afterall what else is there to do a very wet day, too wet to go do gardening! Planted out another batch of vegies in the rain yesterday: corn, beans, and beetroot.

Regards

    Actually, I think it's more purple than blue!

    Lovely little blooms.
    May be your Trachelium caeluleum, has a common name, we could pronounce.
    Hope your veggies do well.

    That's very pretty Bill I don't know it at all.. Yes its certainly wet enough here.
    Today I managed to lightly prune the roses and pull up weeds growing in pools of water.
    I hope your veggies do well too Bill.

    Inga its common name is Blue Throatwort

    Thanks ladies. Inga007: I'm unaware of a common name.
    I noticed from one of your previous messages you are in Canada! I have a gardening friend in Vancouver, we've corresponded via email for over ten years now. We came into contact through a (cyber) gardening group, Lori is her name. Well, there you go, hope you don't mind some pictures of Aussie native plants now 'n again.

    If it is any help getting your tongue around the name - try "caeruleum". I think that is what it is meant to be. Means sky-blue in Latin I think.

    I love the look of that,Bill. Looks like it has waxy flowers as in a Hoya type flower, does it?. What a glorious splash of colour.
