Plant of the Day
Sunday 18 May 2025
Creating a pool of purple flowers in this old glasshouse was Pericallis × hybrida (florist's cineraria). This tender, clump-forming perennial is most frequently grown as an annual, producing clusters of daisy-like flowers in a range of colours including red, pink, purple, blue and white.

The pink hydrangea seems to have rubbed off on its senetti (Pericallis) neighbour in the conservatory. They are said to share many overlapping growing conditions and are therefore frequently seen planted together.
Pericallis × hybrida (cineraria)
Last Thursday, I walked by a plant shop. Stupid me, I had a few dollars in my pocket and I went in. As usual, 'Temptation' was standing by the front door. They warned me at the cash register that I couldn't put this blue cineraria outside until it's reliably 10 degrees Celsius (50F) overnight, and that may be a couple of weeks yet. Meanwhile, I bring it's pot into my bedroom at sundown and it's the first thing I see in the morning.
Cineraria is a hybrid of two species, Pericallis cruenta and Pericallis lanata, both native to the Canary Islands. The cineraria was invented in the British royal gardens in 1777 but is now so common as a cut flower that it's sometimes called Florist's cineraria. Cineraria is available in several colors but I like this intense blue one the best.

Cineraria Pericallis hybrid. They originally tried Cineraria-Fox hybrids, but the seedlings wanted milk and it was just too expensive.

Mark Knopfler all the way as the man on the radio chats away with him. The traffic lady is off to a wedding tomorrow to a place where there will be many sheep and their lambs, but says she won't be mingling with them because of her dress.
Yet again the shiny metropolis threw some cut price plants my way. More Primulas and a couple of Cineraria Jester. This is the home of waifs and strays in all their forms.
Today's a day for taking it slow and keeping a steady level of coffee. Picking the bones of was, is and could be.
No sunshine today but I can see the first blossoms on the apple trees.
