Aha! I saw you had a new avatar photo and I wondered what it was!   :D
 The red and green is gorgeous, a very smart and striking combination.

But, Hans, are you not supposed to be walking in the Black Forest now?  :-\ Or are you home in time for watching Le Tour?  ;D

Dear Hans, you amazed me with this pictures! It is unusual for aulicum to flower now, bt it looks just aulicum.

Alberto ,

do you think it is a variety ?

the leaves are a bit red , the bracts are different on each plant :from light pink until dark green ( I have now 3 flowering plants )

I have also a other H. aulicum ( from Netherland ) this family grows it since 80 years !
the leaves of this plants green like grass ...

Hans,

great success.
I have H.aulicum with leafes "green like grass" and the flowers seem not to be as bright as yours, flowering time usually is November/December and I have plants I got as H.aulicum var. robustum with darker green leaves and one H.aulicum with reddish leafs, both didn´t flowered until now.
The pictures show my H.aulicum, can you see differences?

Bye the way: Usually people make journeys with their dogs or cats....but with plants? I though I am a freak!

Friends, I have made a new topic in the General Section, for stories about the extreme measure we may take to enjoy our plants: as when Hans took his bulbs on holiday with him so as  not to miss their flowering ! It is here: http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3812.0

A new Hippeastrum is flowering for me, Hippeastrum evansiae. It is a evergreen one which makes stolones, very interesting.

Rogan,
no scent but I love this creamy green colour. It is a small one, nearly 35cm high and the flowers have a diameter of 10cm from leaf tip to leaf tip.

Very nice, Renate.  Good to see you have a second scape coming, too.  Well done.
