Nice clumps of yellow Ian.  Do you split the bulbs sometimes or are they naturally spreading out?




I divide every 2/3 years I don't want them to be crowded as they seem not to like it

Wow, what nice clumps of yellows, Ian!

I'm a sucker for yellows; I wish they were easily available in the USA... :'(

They are not that easy to get over here but maybe somewhere someone can help - but if you want to collect  :D

I wish you hadn't said that - not only have I had the tune in my head all afternoon - but now I feel old too!   ;D

Hello Ian,

Excellent pics, I really like Sandersii and Mighty Atom.

Does Mighty Atom bulk up quickly or is it a slow grower?

My photos of Lord dont do it justice.

Jennie my Lords looked like that last year. This year they have a full green mark.

Jo it's a monostictus, stands upright and has lovely shaped flowers.

If the sun is out before 12 tomorrow I'll take photos

Mark - that was last years photo.  Mine are up this year and bulking up nicely - will post another photo when they flower.  I got mine a few years ago from Avon and I love them.  Would look wonderful in a drift.  They were not very expensive and I may get a few more if I see them again.

This was the description from Avon in 2010.

"We have to move to the "new" nomenclature so this fabulous form (previously sold as merely ' caucasicus of gardens' ) falls under the elwesii monostictus catch-all.  A robust form with very wide 'blue' leaves, very bold. Often huge bulbs. Well worth its 'new' title."

The photo they provided did not show the markings and was a profile photo.  I hope mine are stable - will soon find out!
