#Montbretia contains montbretin A #MbA, a rare compound that slows starch digestion & improves glucose control. Researchers are finding ways to produce it reliably.

Meine irische Zement-Katze. Oder müsste es Beton heißen?🤔
Bin ahnungslos, habe mich aber sehr über das Geschenk gefreut.

The #Montbretia have been out in all their vibrancy recently! Aren't they wonderful? A spray of red to compliment the #Fuchsia at this time of year! Are you lucky enough to have them in your area or on your local walks? Even better, in your gardens?

More Montbretia. For some reason my brain jukebox keeps playing Jose Felicano's 'Light My Fire'. Ok, it was the Doors, but he owned it.

A colour photograph in landscape format. It shows a flower head of the bulb crocosmia/montbretia in shades of bright orange. The flower head leans over in a small bow and in a mass of bulbs looks really cheerful! The background is the green sword shaped leaves in the perfect shade to complement the orange.

I know it is a common bulb but this #crocosmia is causing a stir in our garden at the moment with its gorgeous bright clumps of colour!

Crocosmia lucifer. Or as others will know as Montbretia. Reclassified by our lovely bontanists. They'll do this now and again as they learn more about the genetics of plants 💜
