They look like Longipetala x cotyledon hybs and good ones at that. Do you grow Longipetala?

Michael, those are cracking Lewisia rediviva hybrids, absolutely beautiful.
I've just bought Lewisia longipetala x rediviva 'Michael Campbell' from Susan Tindall and will try and post a picture of it in the next few days.
Kata, if your L. cotyledon seedlings are in a peat/sand/perlite mix then in my view a liquid feed with a dilute (about half strength) balanced feed would't do them any harm. Dont water it on but give your seed pot a soak from below. When they are big enough to handle conveniently get them into a well drained soil based potting mix.

Michael,
Stunning pictures, but Oh those Lewisia!!!
Amazing!!
Wim,
I love that Calceolaria in particular. Such a cutie!! Not something we see here in Aus, or at least not in my experience. Always nice to see them here.

Fine pics, Wim.
Your
Papaver
might be
Meconopsis cambrica
- which is able to occupy a whole garden quickly.

Yes Gerd,
the papaver is Meconopsis cambrica indeed, thanks for the name, I had forgotten it completely.
It selfseeds very easily but it is removed very easily also, so I like it.

Just a few from my garden this week.
First a Rhododendron that has followed me around 3 different gardens. It must be over 15 years old now, I remember it as 'Scarlet wonder'.
Second and third anybody got a name for this Rhodo?
Primula 'Victoria De Wemys'
Pleione tolima planted out in the garden.
Finally Romulea tortuosa first flowers from SRGC seed.

Does the name 'Cunningham's Blush' or 'Cunningham's White' ring any bells for your rhodo, Mick?

Magnar, we enjoy your plant photos, but please keep your snow to yourself up there in Norway
We have had better weather here and are hoping to keep it a bit longer!!
The Saxifraga x landaueri Leonora is a fine little plant... love the colour in the stems and flowers
