Derek, your pulsatilla reminds me of the fringed forms that I think were shown on the old forum by Gwen Black,  who loved those types and also Ranunculus ficaria forms. 
On Saturday at Edinburgh Show we were saying that we haven't heard or seen much from the Blacks since they moved to Muir of Ord.... if you are out here reading this, Gwen or Johnny do tell  us how  you are keeping  :D


No Maggi the seed came from Poland I think you can guess who, I will contact her to see if all is OK.

Gerd, your white allium is very pretty, is it well-behaved in the garden?

Anne,
I believe it is the varietas normale . Until now it behaves much better than Allium flavum for instance or Allium vineale (a monster!). I would describe it as a smaller and hardy version of Allium triquetrum, which is very tender here.
Look at http://www.odysseybulbs.com/allium.html

If it sets seed, I would love to have some.  David Robbins sends you his regards - he does not possess a computer, but hogs mine when he visits.

Dimitri,

Welcome!!  :D  Wonderful pics!!  That yellow Corydalis is lovely, and I don't think I've ever heard of that Cyclamen species before.  The Scilla bifolia colours are all wonderful to see together.  I didn't realise that it came in so many colours.

Beautiful!  Thanks for posting the pics for us. 8)

Maggy! Many thanks for such warm welcome! I'll try to visit your wonderful forum as often as I can!

Paul! Many thanks too! This yellow Corydalis is polyploid form, that grows only in Crimea, of wide spread common species C. marschalliana.
And Cyclamen kuznetzovii is a local very narrow endemic of Crimean Mnts. from coum complex. It grows there only in one very restricted area  :'(
Scilla bifolia ssp taurica is polyploid form too. Such color forms I met this year only in one place 5 m2 around during all my trips in Crimea before. I'm too so surprised to meet this population there growing all together! As usually this species is bright blue.
Here below I post more add pics from Crimee and my garden - ENJOY!

Tulipa koktebelica Crimea
 Gymnospermium odessanum
 Galanthus plicatus Crimea.
 Galanthus plicatus & Cyclamen kuznetzovii Crimea
 Corydalis paczoskii Crimea
 Erythronium caucasicum rose form.
 Scilla sibirica f. rosea

Dimitri,

Again, truly beautiful.  That Erythronium is gorgeous, and Yes I can see the link of the Cyclamen to coum.  Looks very nice!!  Great pics.

Welcome Dimitri and thanks for such great pictures.  It's always so good to see these plants in their natural habitat. 

Do you think that Cyclamen kusnetzovii has features that reliably distinguish it from others in the coum complex, apart from its distribution?

Spring here lags behind West European but is going at a fast rate, so we enjoy everything flovering together. Here are some recent pictures. Good chance to compare different species of Gymnospermum.
Dima, is G. odessanum the same plant I grow as G. altaicum?

Crocus tom.Whitewell
 Crocus chr Saturnus
 Draba corabensis
 Gymnospermium alberti
 Gymnospermium altaicum
 Hepatica transsilvanica
 Iris reticulata & danfordii

I hope you'll show us lots more !

In my garden, I found Arenaria granatensis tetraquetra looking quite good today - so here it is :

After a couple of weeks with cold weather, the last days have showed a more friendly face. Sun and 15 degrees is not bad. The flowers likes it as as much the people. Here a couple of pictures.
1. Scilla rosenii
2. Muscari chalusicum
3. Corydalis malkensis
4. Fritillaria hermonis armana 'Gokzum Gold'
5. Saxifraga x biasolettii 'Jorg'
6. Saxifraga x grata 'Gratoides'
