That middle one looks quite special Tony.

[Hagen Engelmann]

Would you like an autumn poc also?
Here it is.

reginae-olgae ex Germany left and reginae-olgae 'Tilebarn Jamie' right.  Found on a dark shelf in the barn on the weekend and dry as a bone.  More elsewhere but not located today. No signs yet of the ones in the ground.

John are you sure you have them the right way round? I think the twin scaped plant is Jamie

Very nice Hagen 

[emma T]

Thats a nice looking plant Hagen 

[Paddy Tobin]

Great one, Hagen.

[Hagen Engelmann]

Martin, Emma, Tobin,
yes it is a very nice one.
But younger bulbs are not exact poculiforme. You can see it, if you look exactly.

I see Hagen's message at the news of forum and think to myself that's must be something special!
And yes it's very special! Great poc Hagen!

Mark - The one in the righthand pot  - the twin scaped one - is labelled Tilebarn Jamie.  The one in the pot to the left of it is the German one.  You may have your lefts and rights backward.   

Hagen - You do manage to give us sleepless nights so often.

oops so I do. I didnt notice the one on the left.

Good to see my reginae-olgaes are now above ground

[mark smyth]

Can anyone remember if Joe's r-o 'Ruby Baker' is autumn or spring flowering?

[Brian Ellis]

I thought it was Autumn flowering Mark, I could of course, be wrong

[Hagen Engelmann]

Mark, I got "Ruby Baker" from Ruby last year. It has a lot of gracilis blood inside.
May be, there is also a G r-o under this name outside.

Sorry Mark, I haven`t read your total message. You spoke about a G r-o.

I mean it is no good idea to give the exact same name two times. And the spring RUBY BAKER was the first named plant.

A spring flowering G r-o with green tips is no exceptional flower. 

[Hans A.]

Some terrific snowdrops ! Very fine and good  green tipps on your peshmenii, Uli!
Hagen is your fantastic poc peshmenii or reginae- olgae?
Here first reginae-olgae will flower soon, nothing to see of the other species - something strange one waits impatiently for this tiny white flowers as there are so many other more colourful plants, but it also happens to me...
