[Anthony Darby]

please think of me next time

I can't go to the Aberdeen show Mark, but Ian Christie does mail order, or you could ask Maggi?

[ArneM]

I would be interested, too.

Not sure why trilliums are in the bulbs thread, but heigh ho, here is Trillium grandiflorum 'Jenny Rhodes' flowering in the garden today?

Because trilliums come under the general heading of bulbscormsrhizomestubers.

Lovely Jenny. A true double, i.e. 6 instead of 3. One I could get to love if she were to venture south some day.

Lesley is quite correct.... this is the broadest definition of "bulbs"... to include, bulbs, corms rhizomes and tubers... as used in SRGC Show Schedules!!

Anthony - Thanks for the link to JR. I got there in the end!

Why are cypripediums / orchids not in the bulbs section?

[Maggi Young]

Why are cypripediums / orchids not in the bulbs section?

For the same reason... orchids are excluded from the "bulb" classes !!
Pay attention , everyone, we may ask questions later!!
It is also the habit of the SRGC to include Trillium still in Liliaceaea classes, notwithstanding the Trilliaceae, reclassification......

[Anthony Darby]

OK, but Lesley didn't need to shout

[Maggi Young]

Lesley didn't shout... I edited her post... I tend to speak very loudly, as you know 

[Lesley Cox]

Wow Maggi! YOU did that to my little note?

[Anthony Darby]

Here's another pic of 'Jenny Rhodes'. None of these show the lovely delicate shade of pink. Carl Denton says: "it was a Mr Frank Rhodes who found [the original plant] on the East side of the Parkway [in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia] when he stopped for a picnic in 1971 [and took it back to England]. His daughter Jenny was born that year so he named it after her.

Great plants everyone. Here are a couple of mine the first is like Diane's a roseum from Ron Beeston's plant and the second I think is quite old and is a bit from Roy Elliot's garden many moons ago

[Kristl Walek]

I'm rushing around right now, but quickly wanted to post a few pictures....

[Kristl Walek]

and, here is JUST ONE of Brian Carson's grandiflora doubles...
he has found hundreds of them locally....

once I have more time, I will tell you about Brian....our nose for Trillium grandiflora doubles....if a double is out there (and many seem to be in our area, for some interesting reason), Brian finds them...
