I am not sure what you mean about different ones. They are all peshmenii just different variations. I have never been able to get a pot of bulbs to produce there flowers all together and the same height.

Here is a picture of them in the wild which shows a bit of variation,it brightens up a cold wet evening just to think about them.

These wild one's are all beautys Tony and all the same, weren't you tempted to take one with you for your collection?

Not only beauty's but they appear to have green tips.

[Tony Willis]

yes I see they do appear to have green tips. I think it is a bit overwhelming when they are enmasse and difficult to pick out individuals.It must just have been that clump. Here are a few more in a general view and a closeup without the green tips.

No sorry I did not collect one.

I am back there in a couple of weeks and will try to be more observant and take more pictures

[Maggi Young]

The inner green marks on the wild clump are much more regular than in your potful, Tony.

[Tony Willis]

Maggie that is true but I think the clumps in the wild may be all the same clone whilst mine are individual ones. Clearly the great one in the sky is also a much better grower than me too as the plants are much better.

I think we'd all be dropping such hints to Tony   Glad your Tilebarn Jamie is getting going, mine still has it's second flower and another bud has just broken the surface so will have been in flower for a good few weeks by the time it is completely over as it started on the 7th September.  What I consider value for money

Why, yes, Hans, this is the very same rock! Fancy that!

[Tony Willis]

Hans

I think you are right,it certainly looks like it.I have been three times and only once was the rock covered in flowers.It is not a large area where they are found at this site but it is easy to get to.

I can only reiterate,in spite of the hints-I did not collect it! My interest is in an overall view of the flowers and I have to say it was only when I put the picture on the forum and it was pointed out I noticed the green bits,sorry.

I get a mention on that web site

[Hagen Engelmann]

9 month after the big performance of MERLIN these little flowers blooms here. Possible, we will call them MERLIN`S AUTUMN CHILD.

Very nice, Hagen. Is that a reginae-olgae form?

[Brian Ellis]
