Thomasia pygmaea |

I had a note from Tony Cavanagh regarding the article on Thomasia in the recent update to Australian Plants online.Tony writes.....
"I've just read the very interesting article on Thamasias in APOL. I concur fully with Jeanette Closs about how good Thomasia pygmaea is as a garden plant and about how little information there is on it. Phillip Vaughan who runs a large native nursery here cannot buy plants from anyone and it is very patchy to strike. Also can be a bit touchy in very dry garden conditions if not well established. I have pictures of a number of Thomasias, Lysiosepalums etc but again I agree with Jeanette, the "red spot measles" are a striking feature when you look closely.
Anyway here are a couple of pictures to show this if people haven't seen the plant before."

I bought one 2 yrs ago and it sits in an enbankment facing north, it has done very well and is favourite of mine. I wish I had bought 3 or 4 when I found it as I have not seen it anywhere since then. { Permanent Link }
