All beautiful but G. graecus is outstanding. G. 'Fotini' is very striking also.

What a great start to my day Melvyn.  The first and last are particularly eye catching.

No sign of my rizehensis,

Martin, I have reginae-olgae just opening. Could I do some cross pollinating? Will early elwesii do?

I've never tried crossing reg olgae with elwesii but it'd be worth a try. Reg olgae (just like nivalis) crosses easily with plicatus, and elwesii crosses easily with plicatus, plus elwesii has similar nuclear DNA weight to plicatus. So yeah, give it a try.

not sunny enough to tempt much into opening today, Colossus and Fieldgate Prelude in the greenhouse.
