Lesley and Carlo,
I like the Talinum okanagonense also very much.
Thanks for the nomenclatural issues.

Thanks for the lovely Talinum pics. I had T. okanoganenese for some years, but it disappeared when we had a winter with poor snow cover. Will have to get some plants again.

Thanks for your kind offer Peter but the other half has been banned from weeding ever since!

THanks for the image of the little white Talinum Franz. Yes, it's very nice indeed and while mine seems to be true, I can only conclude that it's a poor form or perhaps I'm not growing it well. I'll move it to a sunny raised bed and see what happens.
The gorgeous
Perezia recurvata
obviously likes life in North Norway :)I no longer have it (who in NZ still does?) but I only ever had a few flowers at a time and they had a white centre, rather than that all over, limpid, lovely blue.

Brian,
As Peter intimitated, Morina longifolia is one of those plants which can be unreasonably expensive as they can be raised very easily from seed and the seed is produced freely.
Let me know if I should save some from you - you could develop a thistly meadow.

Re Peter's Tricyrtis from Lund.
It is the only Tricyrtis I have tried that survives here. It even sows itself occasionally. Probably it does that in Lund also and probably that is the reason for the lack of label.
I have had it from seed from RHS for at least thirty years but i have lost the name.
Can anybody please identify it for me
Thanks

Thankyou Paddy,
I have got Morina longifolia in the garden now and have grown it from seed for plant sales etc. I would really like a Morina persica - hence my disappointment to find that I had yet another M.longifolia. Should you have seeds of M.persica you could have a friend for life

As with you, Brian,
I have found Morina persica elusive; have tried seed several times only to germinate M. longifolia. No doubt, it will come along at some time.

Well Paddy I think we will just have to keep our fingers crossed! Presumably the seed problem is because of crossing with longifolia.

I had the true
M. persica
back in the mid nineties, from a few seeds collected in Greece. Alas, I no longer have it.

Raining all day today here, so a couple of flowers from the greenhouse today.
First is Cyclamen hederifolium. One of the plants I got for 50p earlier this year, obviously confused about flowering time?
Second is Tulbagghia violacea pallida, been two winters outside. Put in a pot 2 months ago to see if worth entering in a show.

A little quiet on the 'FLOWERING NOW' pages, so I shall gingerly (they ARE NOT alpines unfortunately), contribute a few images captured at a local garden (Vicarage Gardens at Carrington) and in my own front garden over the past couple of days. My dear wife took me shopping (arm forced gently up my back) to The Trafford Centre in Manchester and my treat for enduring this torture was a brief visit to the lovely Vicarage G'dns on the way home.
Probably more than one posting so I shall continue until my finger drops dead with fatigue.....
Still raining (though the sun did shine during the afternoon)...
