Beautiful selection. I have Annielle and agree that it has superlative grace and poise- better than anything else I have.

All good.  Can you see the inner petals on the nivalis in warmer weather or is it always that tightly closed?

That's an interesting nivalis you found there Gert and repeating what Alan said...does it open up or does it stay closed?

It need some time and good weather to open. But it won't open far, because it is very tiny.

Bit of sun today and I had some free time - enjoyed a coffee on my beloved swing seat (the one Ian Young told me we'd never use!) before the cold got to me. The snowdrops are looking pretty.

Still got lots to come  David - life is different here in the N.E. of Scotland!  For instance, a batch of nivalis in a trough of   Sanguinaria  canadensis are  just showing colour,  it'll be a little while before they even turn , never mind open.

Gert, some really terrific drops! Keep 'em coming!

Here is one I am thrilled to grow. An elwesii poculiform originated by Cal Mateer that is putting on quite a show in the garden this week.

That's a real beauty, Rick - I like pocs!   G.  elwesii are sometimes reluctant to grow out in our garden, though so  we tend to keep those in pots.
