a special drop flowering in my garden now: Franz Hadacek. A found from Gert Hoek

This beautiful 'drop is named for one of the hero members of the Scottish Rock Garden Club - an inspirational grower !
I was fortunate enough to be given a bulb, which I treasure - and I hope I will see a flower next year.

Do you fancy some for yourself maggi?
If I had decent nails I might be tempted, John!

No - just weak nails, usually broken down by poking around in the garden!

That's lovely. Do all have a single inner petal?
