I have to second that Chris. A glorious sight Rob, what a thrill. And such pristine whiteness on the cantabricus flowers. Pure joy. 8)

How tall is Navarre? It looks like a wild asturiensis. And where are you getting this blue sky from????

Hello,

Nice greenhouse Arthur!

And I have another one in a box  ;D  Just need time and a good summer to erect it alongside the first.  It will be more shady as it will be nearer some trees.  Need for this second large greenhouse is becoming urgent as I become more successful in growing on my seeds.

Mark beat me to Sidora - mine have only just opened in the mild spell we are having. A favourite of mine is this tiny white cantabricus grown from seed in 1991 as tananicus. It's a standard 4" label next to it, and the flower is about 1cm across. Equally tiny are these N. bulbocodium nivalis.
