    Hi. Quite a mouthful that and belongs to a very rare plant I have grown for many years. It is just starting to come through now and because of its rarity I grow it in a container - also because it flowers same time as leaves are produced and after they are both finished dies right away again - thus in open ground being very vulnerable to damage.
    It is well worth reading about it on say Google ( Hladniks Scopolia) as its history goes way back to 1550 and grows naturally in only one place in E.Europe. The one I have is of the true original ones found at that time with the yellowy green flowers - I believe there is another with brownish flowers but this is the true Hladniks version. It is poisonous and of the Nightshade family - has anyone ever grown it.
    Growth is sparse at the moment but will attach one of two pics to give an idea - hopefully some better ones later.
