Mike, what a glorious Adonis amurensis - a bowl of sunshine beautifully shot; as are all your plants.

[Ragged Robin]

...This one is Cambuci, a type of Friar's Hat

Diane, is it very hot?

[Diane Whitehead]

The "petals" are not hot at all and the centre is a little hot. Seeds available.

[Michael J Campbell]

Romulea tetragona

[Armin]

Very beautiful flower.
Is it winter hard, Michael?

[Michael J Campbell]

Armin,that one is in the greenhouse but I have some planted out in a unprotected bulb frame and I will know in a few weeks how Hardy it is. They have survived for five years outside but we usually get mild Winters, this year has been the coldest for over 50 years. The foliage looks fine so I might be lucky as the frame is facing south and is close to the house and that affords it a little protection

Lovely Romulea Michael.

[Michael J Campbell]

I found this little Cyclamen alpinum at the back of the greenhouse today.

Cyclamen alpinum

[Mike Ireland]

Some seed from Myosotis glabrescens was accidentally dropped, not all was picked up.  Over the winter months it has germinated in the tufa in the greenhouse.  I think I shall have to leave it where it is.

A lot of promise in those seedlings.

Anne these are the first cyclamen i have grown from seed and it was with the kind advice from the people on this forum that they are here,there is plenty more to come just waiting for my coum to show there first leaf and i can take them out of the dark.
