You have sharp eyes! Well, Anemone nemorosa is a very nice spring flower. It has a tendency to take over though and I don't want it right there. At least not to many!

Hans,

Beautiful Iris and Glad.  My favourite is definitely the acutiloba ssp lineolata.  Such a striking flower.  :D

On the other side of the pond, we are about equal to a UK February!  My crocus, galanthus and eranthis are just starting.  The first crocus pic is C. etruscus, followed by C. chrysanthus 'Romance' and C. tommassinianus then C. biflorus var. taurii.  The Galanthus is nivalis 'Flore-pleno'.

Ola - A belated thanks for the picture of Cyclamen kusnetzovii.

I read about it recently in Ruksans' Buried Treasures - a great read by the way and he says it may be the hardiest cyclamen. This one is of great interest as other coums can be wiped out in cold snowless winters here especially when entombed in ice. So we need hardy coums.  Do you believe it to be super hardy? What sort of winter temperatures would it see in the wild? Wisely Janus keeps his kusnetzoviis isolated so he gets true seed. Do any nurseries list it with similar treatment to assure the true species?

To date purpurascens is our hardiest cyclamen but it would be nice to have a long-lived reliable spring bloomer.

Galleries of fine plant-pictures. Thank you all. My garden is too small. But there are some little places (between the galanthus). Her are two different types of trillium cuneatum (military look). ;)

The petals and sepals look almost the same colour on that trillium sessile clone, making it a very striking plant.

Attached is a photo of one of my trilliums with just a few streaks of maroon in the sepals
