Steve,

I notice that the picture you posted of 'Fanny' looks to be missing the green tips. Is this because it is an immature flower or that I just can't see them on your photograph? I have posted a picture of mine for comparison. Mine grow in relative shade so perhaps the marks are not as visible in direct sunshine.

It seems that Hugh Mackenzie is popular this year and rightly so. I have posted a couple of my pictures just to get in on the act  ;D It really is a wonderful flower but has taken a year to settle down with me. The markings last year weren't quite as vivid as this year.

Lastly, Fiona Mackenzie has flowered this weekend and adds to the late season virescents.

Cheers,
David

Sorry if I have missed any posts - was my birthday yesterday so have been busy all weekend and am trying to catch up/keep on top of posted messages.   ::)

Happy birthday for yesterday, John. I hope the 'Henry's White Lady' settles down soon as it really is a lovely flower.

Cheers,
David

Dear John,

well... as well I can remember I got it 2 years ago via the internet as wandlebury ring. This year it is the first time to flower, there hasn't been soil or compost or anything on it, bit funny- it shows a yellow ovary.
I can't remember buying some gracilis two years ago...
But stupid me- I didn't keep any records that time.

Hagen,

Love your pictures.  Does Till Sonnenschein always face so upright?  Both plants look wonderful,  I haven't seen either before.  Will any be coming over to the UK?

Lewis, it was the day when the flowers leave the spathe. But the colors are truly.
