Yes hopefully the bees can weave some magic with this wide gene pool and give you vigorous, well-adapted seedlings Leena. Then to choose beautiful Finnish names for the best of them, maybe from the Kalevala
You're doing well with Alex Duguid John, the year before last I had two leaves, last year a crop of flowers and this year. so far, nothing...but they are out in the garden!
A nice potful of Galanthus peshmenii has been cheering this week.
Rick - We have an awful time with these r-os, counts go up to 50 and then rot sets in - one poorly timed watering mid-winter - and the counts go down to the 20s. 'Cambridge' is at the lowest ever at 6 whereas r-o Vernalis 'Alex Duguid' seems to be marching forward. G. corcyrensis count is 45 so Roma was spot on with that one as a good-doer. Best is a cross of G. corcyrensis x 'Cambridge' which is bulking up nicely to 35 already, no flowers yet. You're welcome to any r-os if out east.I now pot singly or at least in modest numbers per pot, avoid peat/bark and up the pumice in r-o pots.The incessant dampness here may be a major factor though this year is the exception and the ground is still parched down 10-15cm. john
