Magnolia seiboldii flowers opened today; photo taken just before the welcome rain drove me indoors for lunch.
Grown from SRGC seed (sown many years ago!)

John, now I understand at last the naming of this Carex
Never heard of Hanabusaya, but found out Symphyandra is a synonym, so might have some nice flowers. I hope you show it again when flowering?

I love soldanellas, and that's a lovely clump John. I never managed to get a clump to flower that well.
That pic of the
Magnolia seiboldii
is superb Peter, and grown from seed. That's dedication!

Just goes to show I've been doing this for too long.
Still think of myself as a beginner though....

Two trees of note in friends' garden, their magnificent Stewartia pseudocamellia and Clethra barbinervis. The latter is just now developing bark similar to the Stewartia's, last year's flowers are reminscent of spanish moss from a distance.
The Corylopsis show continues with spicata and pauciflora.
Spied Trillium rivale hiding itself amongst Galanthus foliage.

Not much in flower today in the alpine house except for this Alstromeria patagonica.
The flower is only just over 1cm across (you can see some slug damage from earlier in the season on the leaf tips) and generally flowers about now as the foliage begins to turn brown.

Hi Graham, lovely pictures of your garden. Its so well stocked and so much colour. Must get to see it someday.
Hi Peter, that's a lovely Alstromeria, never new you got them for the alpine house.
I cant imagine growing a Magnolia from seed, the thought of the time it would take would put me of trying
