Really gorgeous collection Stephen - my favourite is your black dark nectarines - although it's hard to choose as they are all so different and special in their own way  :)

Here's a selection of mine that are in flower at the moment.....

The last 3 are seedlings of my own crosses.  I love the two anemone centreds, but particularly the reverse picotee version.  8)

Please click on the pic for a larger version.  If pics are too large, please let me know.

Guy , you certainly have reason to smile on your Hellebore babies , I particular like your
pale pink ,spotted, and 'Lilac Picotee'
 but your 'Betty Ranicar' is not quite up to the original, which originated in a garden in
 Tasmania - seedlings usually come 90% double .
 At the moment have slate double in flower -rather nice .

Otto,

I love the double black at the top, and that partway between and anemone centre and double in the last pic is very unusual.  All are beautiful though!  8)  Thanks for the pics.
