Ooh! Great plants! You've been speeding again, haven't you, Giles?

My nose was sent into overdrive with the mere thought of the Daphnes but I ADORE the Trillium nivale.... SUCH a fab plant!!

Well, Giles, I had heard you had "go-faster" stripes painted on your bicycle.......and your slippers....

I just tore my eyes away from the Trillium to spot the Saxifraga retusa in that six pan.... I like that , too.... not much wonder he won a medal with a six like that!
Yummy cushions, too. What's the weather like down there? Not too stormy , I suspect, or those plants would never have made it from car to bench in one piece!

Oh, my word, I've just realised that the perfect white cushion at the rear of the six pan entry is a Chionohebe pulvinaris..... Lovely!!

Nah! He'll be all proud and happy!

How did you keep from pinching all those lovely Daphnes off the show benches? Was the security on them pretty tight??

Giles · « **Reply #8 on:** March 28, 2009, 06:33:59 PM »

Townsendia (unknown species)
Dionysia khatamii
Viola pedata

I like the Neotinea tridentata,
the only one of that genus I had ever seen was Neotinea ustulata which is very nice also.

Very beautiful cushions also. And I'm in love with Viola pedata which I still haven't found.

Super images, Giles ... I'm sure there are many more to follow? ... But what an incredible Six Pan !

Giles · « **Reply #11 on:** March 28, 2009, 06:43:34 PM »

Some bulby things:
Beuavalia forniculata (this is what it said on the label - but can't find any name like it in the books)
Onixotis stricta (again not sure about the name)

That's all of my photos.

Maggi Young · « **Reply #12 on:** March 28, 2009, 06:55:43 PM »

That'll be Bellevalia forniculata...... what a mouthful.

You have a great eye for bringing us the good stuff, Giles, thanks!

How perfect is that Viola?

Giles · « **Reply #13 on:** March 28, 2009, 06:59:44 PM »

re. the (very perfect) Viola:
Wim, Aberconwy Nursery have 2 forms of it, if you wanted one, let me know and I'll pick one up for you at the next show,(assuming they still have some)
and post it to you. (They are £3). PM me if you're interested.

Maggi Young · « **Reply #14 on:** March 28, 2009, 07:00:17 PM »

I think that Onixotis stricta is now correctly Wurmbea stricta.... those taxonomists at it again!
