I sowed what seemed to be seed a month ago, of my little South American beech,
Nothofagus antarctica
. This is the third autumn it has been with me and both previous years it has coloured a fine, even gold, very beautiful. This morning I noticed a slightly pinkish look and by this afternoon, it is well on the way to becoming scarlet!

Nice! And on the other side of the earth mine is getting new leaves in the most delicious green color. We share the joy of a very nice little tree!

a couple of unamed ranunculus. The first is interesting because it is a high alpine from Turkey which has finely divided foliage and a rootstock like asiaticus and is totally summer dormant. Other than that for interest if you found it in your garden you would probably weed it out .
The second is a robust wet growing one from Lake Abant in NW Turkey

Love your Bellevalia Kenneth.
Yes, the Nothofagus is a beauty isn't it. Mine's just 2 metres high as yet but is delicate and lacy-looking, and has become a favourite tree. But then, my most favourite of all is the European
Fagus sylvatica
, followed by our own native
Nothofagus species
. Does yours grow upright as mine does. Finn Haugli says it grows as a low, mounded plant in Tromso, I assume because of the harsher climate.

Saw the pic of the symphytum and it reminded me, today I took a cutting from a yellow leafed variety of symphytum. Does anyone know what it might be? Sorry I don't have a picture, it was on the plant of a friend, and the cutting I took has wilted big time, but I'm sure it will recover in time. Very long sword shaped leaves, not variegated at all, just bright screaming yellow. Stopped me in my tracks. Any help much appreciated. Cant find many reference photos of them in my books. Nothing it Phillips & Rix that looks remotely like this one.
