Rimmeras you know I thought it was a vernus but here is a Crocus sieberi with a 'v' shaped marking from Mt Parnassus where it is a very mixed population of sieberi/veluchensis
What's the correct pronunciation of sieberi please? I've heard 'seeberi'; 'sybeeri' and 'syberi'
Thanks Tonyg, I like that pronunciation best, I shall adopt it
But you did not rise to the svee-each-e-i challenge .....darn, I gave it away!
Tony W is right of course!I say seeberi.Next lesson: How to pronounce cvijicii
Can we stay away from Bowles, that upper class English twit? Despite Brian Mathew, his comments are not at all amusing. They reflect a crass & lazy English mentality which regards all things foreign as funny. So a paeony has to be "Molly the Witch - hilarious!
Regarding cvijicii - play on violin... (recommendation by E.A. Bowles)
In that case I'd have to agree with Gerry. NOT amusing!
