Aspidistra daibuensis 'Yuli Yummy'

Just checking in… I’ve been preoccupied with some pre-Christmas decorating as I’ve got family coming to stay. Lots of painting currently! But whilst sitting now just having a break I noticed my Aspidistra is flowering! Two have emerged but I couldn’t get them both in on the same close up. The flowers just sit at soil level so they don’t do anymore than this. Hopefully back a bit more soon once the decorating eases a bit!

How lovely 🥰 I must keep a close eye on my Aspidistra now 🤞

Oh how exciting….get back to your decorating Richard , get your priorities right 😆👌🏼

Happy decorating Richard!

That’s fascinating! Good idea to decorate now, you don’t want to be doing it when you can be out in the garden!

Never knew they flowered, you learn something new every day. Enjoy - if that's the right word - your decorating.

What a unique beauty😍 Happy Xmas decorating ❣️

Strangely beautiful and unworldly 😯

Happy New Year Rich glad to hear from you. Although you do sound busy. I hope we have a good 2023 gardening🤗

Wow the blooms on this plant are so cool!

I know right?! 😄 a friend of mine collects Aspidistra and he was the one that told me they flower like this @meskarune

Unusual spotty Aspidistra, which was a a gift from @HG01 earlier this year. It’s already starting to send up some new leaves after I repotted into a narrow deep pot. It also had flowers down at soil level but they have now gone. The roots are big 👍🏼 #aspidistra #castironplant #aspidistradaibuensisyuliyummy #aspidistra-daibuensis #aspidistradaibuensis

It’s a #houseplant at the moment but I’m planning to put it outside in a sheltered spot for summer. They are actually quite hardy as long as it’s not too wet apparently - a few plant collectors are now growing them in their gardens all year round

What a wonderfully tonal composition of medium-dark leaves against a slate-gray background. The subtle lighting brings out every detail and highlights the spotting even more. Bravo 👏🏻 📸 🌱

Thank you very much @mn-5a , I took a few photos in different spots and concluded it was hard to pick up the spots, so I tried it against my living room wall and it looked perfect 😊

Huh. First time to encounter the name "Yuli Yummy". This may be the cultivar I have, ha ha

😄 it’s name is extraordinary! My friend who gifted this holds the National UK collection of Aspidistra elatior and cultivars, and one other species I can’t remember, but he collects others too. I think there are a few spotty ones, I’m not good at identifying them but he runs a FB Aspidistra group. He went to US last year for research into Aspidistra at Plant Delights Nursery, have you heard of them? @misternatureboy
