Great photos in the February thread - my own are out for weeks now, but never opened due to lack of sunshine and warmth.
Hope you will forgive me if I can show only 'standard' plants, most of my rarities are in heaven
First some sights from the lawn and the rockgarden after two days of sunshine:

Some of the surviving goodies:
- Crocus chrysanthus Jeannine, Crocus etruscus from Tuscany and malyi from Croatia
- Crocus versicolor from Southern France
- Crocus fleischeri together with C. angustifolius
- a C. vernus form from Liguria which will be described as a new species this year together with some of the green tipped whites

Some of you may have noticed wonderful hybrids on my lawn.
I have marked them for later replanting and hope to increase them well:

Tomorrow I'm going to Greece. Fortunately I selected road not through Kiev, but in Aprill my flight to Erevan is just through Kiev. Air space over Ukraina now is closed. I hope that world protests will stop barbarians from East. Now we all are in heart with Ukrainian patriots trying protect their independence.
Others in this and following entry are Crocus sieberi grown from wild collected seeds. Seeds were sent me by Marcus Harvey who collected them on Crete. Note the huge size of white specimen - just as large Dutch so named vernus cultivar.
