Are there any particular species or selections you're looking for?
Jespers Planteskole claims to have Asarum maximum, although I am pretty sure what I received was A. magnificum, we'll see when it flowers later in spring... No matter what it's fully hardy here in Midt-Jylland. Don't know where in Denmark you live, but the entire country is zone 7b to 8b, you have to go across Skagerak to find zone 6a.
Thanks for your info. I live in northern sjælland. I am quite familiar with Jespers Plante and I will take a look at their website. Thanks agan.

fermi & Leucogenes,
I share your opinion. I have long believed that there should be 2 separate phylogenies: one for academia and one for horticulture.
The horticultural phylogeny should change only when academic changes are horticulturally useful.
Hi Marc, that's an interesting viewpoint - how do we get it recognised by the Taxonomic Council?  Here are a couple of mystery colchicums: 1 & 2) This was grown from seed as Colchicum diampolis but I've been told it isn't - apparently it should be winter or spring flowering. 3 & 4) This appeared today in a bed where I have no recollection of planting it - no label, but it could have been a stray seedling planted out with something else ( or I've just forgotten that I'd planted it here!). cheers fermi

Hi Fermi,
It is nice to see your autumn bulbs coming into bloom. Spring is arriving here in our part of Northern California. The first of the Dipterostemon capitatus ssp. capitatus are coming into bloom now. Triteleia laxa is not far behind. Slow but steady progress is being made developing new and hopefully superior forms. This year I will be evaluating selections of Triteleia bridgesii and making appropriate crosses. I believe this species has great potential. It just requires some time and effort – something I enjoy doing. I will be posting Themidaceae photographs as the season progresses, as well as reporting on any new results and findings.
Hi Robert, I'm always amazed when I see your pics of Themids so early in the season. Here they are some of the last spring flowers, often after most of the narcissus have finished. Perhaps they are reluctant to appear so far from home?! cheers fermi

Erythronium caucasicum a few weeks ago.
Now Erythronium albidum

I just want to put this one here as well. A Blonde Inge type virescent nivalis. A yellow virescent, if you will. Actually, not a virescent anymore, is it?
A seedling from my own breeding. The mother is Blonde Inge. Late flowering.
Hello John, great to see you here once more!

That´s a really interesting combination, John! Would You say the outers are marked more yellowish or more greenish? Leena, Your double seedling of ´E.A. Bowles´ looks unique! Congratulations! My EAB was exceedingly slow to bulk, but after two very wet years it doubled. Perhaps I should try it in a less dry spot of my garden. Till now, I thought it would dislike my heavy clay. Recently, I found a Blonde Inge - type of Galanthus elwesii var monostictus amongst potted snowdrops in a local flower shop.

Primarily because it was felt that it was difficult to do so safely given the advanced age of many of the remaining few volunteers who assist with setup. Other than Susan and myself and David Morris, there are no (relative) youngsters left in the group.

Tom, Stan many thanks (and to Sue and George of course) some truly splendid plants.
Incidentally why was the Kendal show cancelled this year? Was it venue issues?

I am unsure what that would prove, just that for some reason you get replies, the only person amongst several to do so.
The people who have not, have never had replies going back before there was any (enforced) requirement for phyyto's.
I'd just like my refund.
