What a find, Renate........ and they say this man was a genius of plant painting. Now you have found the picture you must find the plant... I will buy two dozen!

Maggi,
please send me a blanco cheque and I will think about a price

And please, be patient, could take some years or so...

I understand the need for patience, Renate.... I will send you my husband's bank details... after all, you need to eat while your work continues..........

Mmmmmmmm
Then you could produce a Narcissus with actual cyclamen-type leaves. No problem I'm sure to the computer-literate.

Maggi,
your are really ful of understanding.

Lesley,
a good idea - when I make it good someday I also will be prominent as a plant painter.

Hi Renate and all members. I and Hans had a very strong discussion about this plant and at the end we thinks it is a rare cross involving Narcissus jonquilla (for the leaves), Cyclamen for the shape of the flowers and Galanthus for the white color with green basal marks of the petals: what do you think?

Maggi Young · « **Reply #8 on:** January 24, 2011, 08:15:42 PM »

Yes, Alberto, I think you have good reasoning there but what about the root part? This is a rhizome like a trillium, is it not? So, a quadrigeneric hybrid

Alberto · « **Reply #9 on:** January 24, 2011, 08:18:18 PM »

Maggi, if you look at the cyclamens they can have short/long stems spreading from the bulbs, just like in this fantastic picture!

Oh yes, that is true, the growth stems are like that... but I see no corm... it's a rhizome, I'm sure!! Besides, I am sure Renate is going to charge the price for a quadrigeneric hybrid now, anyway

Maggi and all !

maybe this is something like a "Wolpertinger" ?

Hans

Does this plant inhabit the alpine forests of Bavaria too?

Alberto ,

I think yes ....maybe it is the main food for the Wolpertinger .....after eating this plants the animals changed the habit !
