The first nerine to flower this year, Nerine angulata, came from Murray Cubis in 2001 but I'd not seen it flower for a while

The first of the Nerine rosea are in bloom but the colour is darker than the pic shows

Nerine 'Ariel' is an old hybrid I got from my mentor in Rock Gardening, Ruth Tindale, back in the late 1980s.
The first pic is of the established clump which is in the shade of a rose bush and the second is from a few bulbs I moved to the rock garden but sheltered by Zauschneria cana (syn Epilobium canum), but each has only managed a single stem this year,

This is Nerine filifolia which I got from Garry Reid, a respectable bulb grower, so I think that it's correct (last year there was considerable discussion about my mis-named nerines!)

This is what is known in Australia as Nerine fothergilla 'Major' (AKA N. "Fothergilla Major", N. fothergilii 'Major') which The Plant List lumps into Nerine sarniensis.
I won't be changing labels anytime soon,

In the 1990s I crossed Nerine rosea with Nerine fothergilla 'Major' and got a few seedlings - rather neglected for years one finally flowered in 2005 (not sure if I posted a pic to the previous version of the Forum). I planted them out 2 years ago and one (the same one?) has flowered this year

We visited our friend Cathy in Macedon which has a much cooler climate than ours.
She grows a lot of nerines and has had many more flowers than ours.
Here are a few of her flowers, including the hybrid 'Gilbert Errey' named for an early horticultural hybridist in Victoria

This winter flowering nerine came from a neighbour and I think it is a form of Nerine undulata.
It seems to be a pink version of what we call N. flexuosa "Alba" - the popular white one which started flowering at the end of April

This is the nerine I originally got as Nerine crispa but it's apparently now lumped in with N. humilis ...or undulatus, I forget and I'm not changing labels!
The first pic is from late May and the second shows the flower-heads today - some still fresh but some in seed

This is a little nerine I grew from seed as Nerine filifolia but either it had been hybridised or the parent plant was mislabelled!
Unfortunately I no longer have the parent plant to compare,

A rather poor flower on a nerine I got back in the 1980s as Nerine 'Splendens'

I gave my Nerine sarensis a good soak in early July this year- as last year I left it till the end of July and now Ive got six flowering in total. Never had this before!
So I am very excited even through they are months early.
This one is a plain Sarensis

This one is called 'Copperhead' and it flowered three years ago and got accidentally decapitated on the day it was about to open. Oh dear.
So finally I get to see it and its pretty amazing.

This one is Nerine Dingaan and its pretty breathtaking -the camera doesn't quite pick up the colours properly though. The flowers are much smaller than the others.
I wonder if anyone else has this early flowering phenomena in Scotland?

These two-tone types - seemingly equipped with metallic finish ( which I believe in cars comes at extra cost!!
) are very fetching. I think some forumists grow a selection of these - I remember pictures from earlier years , notably from JohnW in Canada I think- but this does seem early in the season.
