Helen,

Personally, I don't think the 'Tinos' photo ever does it justice either.  It is an asiatic, but the markings are quite intricate.  The contrasts just don't quite make it into a photo, no matter how many times you take it. ::)

Why Thank You Anne, but I think you're over-rating them.  Now Cliff Booker's and a couple of other posters pics are superb, but mine most definitely are not up to a "superb" tag.  ;)  I do thank you for the compliment though.  ;D

And now some other stuff......

Arisaema candidissimum
Cyclamen intaminatum
Hypoxis nitida
and 3 Zantedeschia... 'Lilac Mist' (which is a VERY poor flowerer, to put it mildly!  Would never have bought it if I knew how few flowers it produces), a rehmanii hybrid (I think), and 'Sunrise'

I'll also post a couple of things in the Orchid, Aussie Natives, Wildlife, and Amaryllidaceae sections.

Enjoy.

A colour to match your current conditions Luc.

A clump of Lewisia seedlings raised from SRGC seed 2003/04 as L.brachycalyx.

However they have petals that appear misshaped and only open during sunny days which i understand applies to L.nevadensis and not L brachycalyx.

Followed by an unnamed Gladiolus species from Otago seed August 2003 --it is similar in flower shape to the G.italicus pic i posted a month ago in Nov in the Southern Hemisphere -- but has only 2 leaves per stem so i'm wondering whether it is G.kotschyanus.

Cheers dave.

Nice things love the colour.
Paul how Do You grow Your Zantedeschia? Do You have them in the ground or in Pots and do they grow wettish? Do they need winter protection at Your place that do get just below zero if I remember correctly or are they OK without protection?
The classic white grows well in Portugal and some of the smaller aslo grows but are really small compared with 1m foliage of the others.

Kind regards
Joakim
