Hi Ian what a great plant of Mec pseudo integrifolia is it the Tianch lake form. We have a stunted flower spike of M superba just now. Look forward to seeing more of your Mecs

Our weather now is belated April-weather, after the hailstorm at sunday we have lots
of rain - too much for my taste. Some pictures from the last 2 weeks:

Many lovely plants pictured today, my thanks for them all. I especially like the pale yellow form of Erigeron aureus.

I think Gynandriris sisyrinchium is now Moraea?

Lovely photos of flowering plants:

Michael, your photo of Ranunculus parnassifolius is heavenly - would love to grow it here...

Rudi, can you tell me more about your Podophyllum emodi, I really like it?  Also why does the Arnebia pulchra have spots on some of the petals and not on others on the same plant?

Anthony, how tall is you beautiful blue G.  sisyrinchium?

About 8 cm. The flowers opened late afternoon and were closed before dark (9.30ish).

Anthony,

The Gynandriris flowers certainly don't last long, do they?  Then again, they're not as bad as Zephyranthes minima, which for me here only seems to last a few hours at the most in late summer.  I had it flower 3 summers before I ever managed to time it well enough to see a flower open.  :o

I am not sure if this wonderful link has been listed on the site before, but never mind, it is certainly worth mentioning again for newer members.

Just in flower - but you need a magnifier for detecting the blossoms -

This is Viola fusco-violacea - a rare Aussi violet - related to Viola hederacea

For comparison a flower of a ' normal '  violet of the pansy type - Viola palmensis

interesting--its almost more like the cleistogamous flowers many violets have, rather than the showy ones..
