Flowers and foliage April 2008

But I think the giveaway is that the flowers closest to the camera are completely dye-free, so probably still in a pot, with the dyed flowers cut and stood in dye.

Right you are Martin. The flowers were coloured with the food dye Brilliant Blue, E133. However, being a chemist I might have som true 'Blue Gal' in the future. Maybe next year in April.

Paul, the Thlaspi is T. stylosum. It seeds around a lot.

Ola, I assume you now have a bunch of very hyperactive snowdrop flowers.

Franz do you ever get a cloudy day? How far do you live from the Czech border? The AGS Ulster Group may be in CZ next year

Of course we have also cloudy days, particularly if I take a photo.
From the border 100 km, from Prague 400 km.

The white Corydalis cava is really a beautiful plant. I like it!

[ChrisB]

Certainly is, Franz!  Lovely.

On your picture is even more beautiful!

[Katherine J]

I would be very happy to receive some seed of cava if you think that it is possible to locate a white one.

Göte,
I will try to do something for you.  There are many whites also.

We have a real little charmer flowering today.... a Turkish Muscari sp. that we got from Arthur......I'd show you a photo of it, but the BD has embargoed it for his Bulb Log! So watch out for it there.... but THANKS, Arthur, it is just a little sweetie.

Glad you like it.  Can Ian give it a name?

The best and most beautiful place for Degenia velebitica

[David Nicholson]

Does that mean it likes lots of moisture Franz?

[hadacekf]

No David, that is the dry corner of a sand bed. The pipe is support for the shade.

[David Nicholson]

Ah! Thanks for that Franz.

The unidentified leaves from up in the hills that I posted around this time last year are in fact Scilla verna (I believe). Not on the coast by any means, but if they have good eyesight, they can just about see the sea on a good day!
