From the garden of Jens Birck in Copenhagen and at a ripe old age still defying reason by thriving in a peat block!

Beautiful scenery Leena. P. elatior hybrids are usually very impressive, a good example of hybrids vigor!

Gabriela the Erythronium americanum looks beautiful yellow.
Leena your Scilla rosenii is really pretty. I have something similar (got it as a hybrid of Scilla rosenii and Siberica). Somehow I can take a picture only from the top of the plant.This one also has recurved petals

Kris, I bought my plants from Estonia as Scilla rosenii from Georgia, so I think they are true, but they make seeds and there are now seedlings also, and as I have ordinary S.siberica elsewhere in the garden (as a weed) there is a chance that they hybridize. I'm not sure how to tell if the seedlings are hybrids or S.rosenii. Can hybrids look almost like S.rosenii?

great collection.

The drought continue but some plants like it, it's the case of Armeria girardii.
Endemic to the Causses, Cévennes and the Languedoc plain.
