I had the pleasure of seeing SB in his last panto in Glasgow. Now that was real panto! None of these 'I'm a celebrity, get me a job in panto' types that stumble and mumble thinking they are funny. Gerard Kelly, especially when he is with Elaine C. Smith, is very good too.

It doesn't need to be a bulb - a seed would do.

Sorry Gerard ,

G. koenenianus is not a good project for twin scaling -I know it from some people which have try it -without succsess .
You can be shure if it possibly it was easier to get this plants .....
I know also thats this plants make more or less no seeds in culture ....

Hagen ,

thats not bad news - that is the reality !
Why all people like to grow things like koenenianus,platyphyllus and other ?
they are rare and they will always be rare !
This plants are really special - and they need a spcial treatment , because they are specialist from a small areal ....if they are more common ( like elwesii )so the areals are more bigger .

I`m on your site Hans. And there is another information. Some German galanthophile mean, and I too, G. koenenianus is a ssp of G. alpinus.
Brian, these natural drops like nature more then gardens. For me SOUTH HAYES is a very fine drop and it likes gardens. Common is not equal to bad!

Hagen ,

I know this theory - but I'm not shure.
Why the humas all want make in files ?
Maybe we have to accept that this is a own species ...long times separate from other species .
Why alpinus ? only because they ar grey and volute ....thats is ( for me ) to simply .
If you look on the nuclear contents of DNA so are difference between alpinus and koeneninaus :
alpinus has a value between 62,1 - 64,4
alpinus ssp. bortkewitschianus 91,6 -93,6
koenenianus 56,9 - 57,8

I wish South Hayes was 'common'.  I have not managed to find one yet.  ::)
