Some pictures of

Crocus pelistericus
Crocus scardicus

and the hybrid between them

Crocus gothenburgensis

with in this case C. scardicus as the seed parent. Apart from being paler it is very similar to C. scardicus and the more lurid colours only come out in the F2 generation which I have not produced yet.

Finally all three together with the hybrid in the middle

Today in flower some special snowdrops
the first daffodil
the last Cyclamen hederifolium flower from this year
and an unusual scilla

Narcissus tazetta Sicily
Galanthus elwesii var. monostictus
Cyclamen hederifolium
Scilla aristides

Crocus minimus RBGG Corsica

A small crocus I collected near the sea

This is one of the last Nerines in flower
Nerine undulata syn. N. crispa
thanks to the cold weather I think

I just got in plants from Gethyum atropurpureum
I hope they are true named
but it looks correct

Anyone growing this? A friend of mine bought some bulbs in August and potted and watered them in very early September, since then-nothing! A friend of his in England reported that he had rried them several times but had lost them each time. Any tips out there please?
