I will have seed / small tubers of a C. graecum clone with twisty petals in the not too distant future, if you're still interested - the leaves are fairly plain as you can see in the photo.

Hi Otto,

Thanks for your offer on the tubers which I didnt expect as Im happy with seeds but I will take you on your offer and hope to return the favour as allways.

Yes I can imagine a riot of late winter flowers in your garden. Yes C libanoticum is a favourite as Mat and I use to have a large old plant in the neighbours front garden that ended up squashed by the tree aborists when they removed a large cedrus atlantica.

will contact you later in the season

cheers
