Volcano?

I just thought it was a cholesterol bomb.

Ian, the seedlings from 'Elizabeth Harrison' were they from open pollinated flowers or did you self pollinate or cross with something else? Also, what sort of percentage do you think came yellow? I'm asking with my breeder's hat on  

Also, just sent you an email about an order I placed on your new website. Just hope I did the ordering correctly (I'm easily confused).

[Martin Baxendale]

Does anyone know if the yellow colouring of 'Elizabeth Harrison' varies with soil and growing conditions, like most other yellows, or if it's pretty constant even in different soil types? Useful to know if it is a very constant bright yellow, for breeding purposes.

Hello Martin, I did not hand pollinate the flowers neither did the Harrisons and I am not sure about percentages as we did not get much seed, in the Harrisons garden the ordinaary G woronowii is now around at least 60 meters away from the yellow one and I have very few bulbs of the ordinary G woronowii anywhere near the yellow one will have to wait and see, thanks we did get your order will have to sort that out later will be in touch, cheers ian.

[Martin Baxendale]

Thanks Ian. Sounds like it must have self-pollinated if there were no other woronowii nearby. Interesting.

For those keen to see more of Elizabeth Harrison... here are some pictures from a pot exhibited in Dunblane the other year. 2010.. when the 'drop was awarded a PC by theJoint Rock Committee, if I remember correctly.
First pic by John Finch, who was also pleased to meet the lady herself.

I remember the day and all the lovely people I met like it was yesterday.

Nice to see such a joyful picture of the original 'Little Emma' (and Grant of course).

Maggi - many thanks for Ian's new website. Some delicious trilliums and snowdrops (never heard of Hedgehog double!). I was excited by the views of the nursery and garden - nice looking crevice bed - but couldn't blow them up larger. The pictures earlier of 'Elizabeth Harrison' are truly exquisite - all good things come to those who wait!

MMmmmmmm. Bacon sarnies at your place.    Yum yum.

Hello Tim, thanks for your comments, I will post some pictures of the Two crevice gardens I have built on my new web site when the snow clears a bit, cheers Ian the Christie kind

Nice to see your new web site.
Grant and Emma look so lovely, I bet you spoil them rotten. I would if I had two cuties like that.

It would be pancake stack or French toast, grilled banana and maple syrup with your bacon now John 21^oC at 8.15 when I got back from Cocklebay Tennis club, having dropped James off for his first interclub match.
