Thanks for these John, the Glaucidium is superb.

A quick browse round my garden this evening
Roscoea cautleyoides is unusually still standing up well
Rhododendron camschaticum a good colour form, from Glendoick
Gaultheria Pink Pixie
Dactylorhiza foliosa (maybe the real thing??)

The current star of the show is the culmination of many years waiting and it finally arrived with a surprise -
Cardiocrinum cordatum with two flowering stems coming from the same stem at the base.  It seems like the stem divided and then twisted back together.  Has anyone come across a double-stem before?  The last picture attempts to show a close up of the stem arrangement.  I will try and get a better picture at the weekend in better light.

Arisaema,

Love that Iris chrysographes seedling.  Beautiful!!

John,

What is that wonderful pink and white plant(s)?  At first glance I thought Trillium, but the leaves are all wrong.  Don't know what it is but I LOVE it!!!!!

Diane,

Oh that Rhododendron.  What a stunner.  Wouldn't have realised it was a Rhodo without your name for it...... fascinating!!  Love that white candidissimum too!

Great pics everyone.  Thanks so much.

So THAT is what Glaucidium palmatum looks like?  I know people rave about it but I don't think I had ever seen it.  Now I understand why everyone wants it.  Must add it to my "need"s list (the level above the "want"s list!  :) ;D  It is a stunner, but probably wouldn't do well for me here I guess?

Magnar,

Very nice.  Love that Iris, but that last Caltha is VERY special.  I am guessing it isn't something I'm likely to find here in Aus?  Does it have a name?

Renata, I love the Tulip Tree!

John, great to hear form you  :-* :-*
Your ferns are looking suspiciously green.... sure they're not plastic? ;)
Do you manage to keep the Bletillas going outdoors all year or do they get some winter protection? They look lovely!
At the RBG Edinburgh on Friday there were quite a few Roscoeas in flower... whrereas in Aberdeen they are just coming through the ground! Yours look very good, I must say......the similarity to orchid flowers is so attractive, isn't it?
