Impressive how those delicate iris do not get damaged by snow! Nice pictures, by the way!

Simon,
Does V. perinensis grow naturally close to your home?

Hi Gerd- thi one is from seed i bought before I came to Bulgaria- it grows in the Pirin mountains in the South west of Bulgaria- I'm hoping to get down there this summer to see it in the wild.

Hi all,

these are flowering in the garden at the moment. Usually there are about 3 weeks between the flowering periods of Scoliopus bigelowii and S. hallii but this year they flower together.

Scoliopus bigelowii
Scolipous hallii
Arisaema nepenthoides (first Arisaema to flower)
Helleborus torquatus

Super plants of Scoliopus Robin.
How many years are they, before giving such a mass of flowers?

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum
