September 2015 in the Southern Hemisphere

[t00lie]

Raised from Danish seed ,various Hepatica nobilis var japonica .....I wasn't all that fussed on them when they first started flowering because of their tiny blooms however they have since grown on me .....

[Parsla]

Some really beautiful plants Mel, magnificent fritillaria and saxifrages.

Dave, I really love hepaticas. What a fantastic show you have.
Do you have a big collection?

Those Hepaticas are beautiful!

This Babiana came from the 2012 SRGC seed exchange as b. villosa. Obviously it isn't but it's still pretty. It looks like one listed online as Babiana stricta 'Deep Dreams'. Can anyone i.d it? My Sth African Cape Bulbs book is at a friend's place at the moment.

The 1st of my Pacific coast irises has opened for spring.

WOW that's early for a PCI. Mine are a long way off flowering. Beautiful pics everyone.

[fermi de Sousa]

Yes, Jon, that is early for a PCI!
Your Babiana is possibly a form of Babiana nana,
cheers

One little offering for the day.

A cyclamen rhodium f. vividum kindly gifted by Marcus a couple of months ago.

Talk about hot pink!
Quite different to the C. repandum I posted earlier (with identity confusion)

Thanks Jacqui
Not a big collection at the moment but is increasing ....where I can find small gaps in the garden for planting that is.    
Trilliums are my main interest -I'll show a few pics tomorrow of the early ones currently in flower .

Cheers Dave.

Thanks Marcus and Fermi .

I have a number of other Fritillaria species pics however I'm still having trouble getting them to load even though the file sizes are only 427 x 640 pixels and 293 KB.
Not sure why the image resizing tool  isn't working for me and I keep on getting an error message of "Your file is too large. The maximum attachment size allowed is 200 KB ".   
Will try again tomorrow .....

I think I may have twigged why you are having this trouble,  t00lie.

If you are trying to load photos that are so much smaller in pixel size than  the size system is set up to reduce things to, but they are still above 200kbs, the system WILL reject them.

The system's main purpose is to reduce the photos to conform to the  the maximum allowed pixel size so that they are at an optimum viewing size for the forum.   

It might be easier for you to resize the pictures to around 800 max dimension - chances are they would then be less than 200kb anyway and load right away.  The system seems to be fine for others so long as the original file is not too big (xx MBs in size)  in which case it is likely to be your connection which causes any problems, I am informed.

If it were not for the labels, you might really imagine these little ones were in a small mountain ravine or something. But they're in two troughs.

Saxifraga grisebachii 'Wisley' then Soldanella pusilla which after 20 odd years, has decided to flower quite well. So far there have been 12 and there are maybe 20 more coming, just threads at present. I should have wiped away the dead leaves first.

Hi Dave, don't forget the trillium pics,  please.
Your Fritillary aurea is quite beautiful enough before opening.

Two from today:
1. My favourite of the larger triandrus narcissus - the aptly named "Tuesday's child". From Shirley and Jane Tonkin.
2. The greenish-primrose racemes of Corylopsis sinensis.
