Janis was over here today - brilliant lecture.

He showed some photos from his Crocus breeding programme  :o :o wonderful things to come in the future

 Janis was at Termonfeckin, was he not? No-one there to make us jealous by telling us how the weekend went? ???

Not the only one Maggi. On Sunday at the Janis Ruksans lecture I told someone it was Jan Penning who was organising the trip to Kyrgyzstan. It's Harry Jans. Doh!

I learnt something new just now. stan in all the countries ending in stan means place of.

All those PLACES OF wonderful horticultural and botanical interest. We saw someone on TV last night, doing an "Intrepid Journey" on the Pamir Highway. Stunning mountains in Tadjikistan but hardly a plant to be seen, just a few, common annuals and perennials, in a botanic garden.

They are stunning - hope they are easier to cultivate than the equally stunning michelsonii.

The warmest November in last 88 years (recent information) here forced development of some spring bulbs. First flowers of Iris danfordiae, some Alan McMurtries hybrids and Corydalis schangini appeared. Several crocuses are running, too. In addition to earlier pictured Crocus hittiticus stock three other stocks started blooming. Tomorrow will bring them into bathroom to force opening of flowers and crosspollination. But first flower of Crocus atticus started blooming, too.

Yesterday we had some hours of sun, so I can show Crocus hittiticus with something open flowers (pots wer brought in house and placed on bathrooms window). Light was changing and so some pictures are something more yellowish than I would like. Gulnar-1 - comes from Archibald, RUDA-034 - is from Gevne Beli.
