... and what a day!! still 19C at 6pm when I got home from work. Did I work in the garden? nah I worked on my tan.
Anyway back to flowers and I'm gonna kick this month off with an Iris which I 'found' this evening hidden among all my other "must find a home for" goodies. I dont actually remember buying or being given it. The label is blank. I hope one of you guys can help and tell me how to look after it and where to plant it - rockery hopefully.
So this is my unknown Iris

Here is a close up of one of my Trillium grandiflorum forma roseum flowers. This form has the deepest pink flowers of several plants I have blooming, and is pink in bud.

A few non bulbs flowering in our garden.
A young plant Paraquilegia grandiflora flowering for the first time in one of the raised crevice beds that we re-did last year.
One of several plants of Phyllodoce caerulea, raised from seed collected in Japan on the AGSJ expedition. They are all good dome forming and free flowering specimens.
From China this time is this weird and wonderful flower on Epimedium acuminatum, makes the bend down to examine the flower well worth it, and, the leaves are equally sectacular when they are young.

Hi, Mark, I like the Iris, though I'm not sure which it is. Is it scented? Your Clematis is a bit easier, it is one of the paniculata x marmoraria types. The one most often seen is a cultivar called "Avalanche". It is similar to Clematis x cartmannii "Joe". That is, if it has got long growths, if it is short and fat, then it's a marmoraria hybrid with less paniculata!!I can't tell from the pic how big the plant is!

I have tried the Paraquilegia so many times but it won't grow. The Iris has no scent and only one flower measuring 4cmx4cm / 1"x1". The flowering stem is 11.5cm / 4.•••••• is in a 4" square pot and has one main rhizome and 4 off it. I'll leave it in my room for a while to see if it is scented when warm |

I was at Margaret Glynn's garden garden last night and saw a lovely 'weed' I had told her to keep several months ago. It's a Meadow Buttercup Ranunculus acris with almost all black leaves and pale lemon flowers. I'm going back to take photos today. Anyone know how variable this plant is? Should it be kept and maybe named? |

HI, Folks, a few comments... still don't know what Mark's Iris is, isn't there an Iris Buff out there who can put us out of our misery? I think Carol's revived rhododendron is either "Elizabeth Hobbie" or "Axel Olsen", they are almost identical. Axel tends to have a little twist in his leaf. I'm posting a couple of pics on the "Plant Identification page" of this Forum of a little plant that seems to be an Aristolochia, but which one?? We can't even hazard a guess as to where it came from. It's come up in the open garden, I wouldn't have planted it there ! Help! |

DB Iris time is here again. Yet another fantastic day here in N Ireland brought out the first of the flowers.
Iris 'Open Sky'
Iris 'Hocus Pocus'
unknown Iris from Margaret Glynn for my rockery. It stands just short of 3.5 inches high. Do you know it?

Anthony, your Soldanella montana villosa is stunning, thanks for posting this as I had not heard of it before. What sort of conditions does it like? It's Spring-flowering, obviously...does it go dormant over the summer? I don't suppose you'd know a source for them in Australia would you? :-)
Lauren, who's thoroughly enjoying everyone's Springtime pics. |

Hi Lauren
I grow the soldanella in a gritty scree and it is winter dormant. I would not tolerate drying out. No idea about sources in Australia, but seed is tiny so easy to send if it is not on the banned list. Paul Tyerman in Canberra (ptyerman@OZEMAIL.COM.AU) may be able to help? |

No one seems to have commented on Mark's mystery Iris from Margaret Glynn. It looks like the plant I grow as Iris cristata. It's a good plant for a 'high humus' bed in particular. Needs splitting and replanting frequently - I'm not good at getting around to these things and mine (in a big trough) hasn't flowered for a few years. It's also a mollusc magnet! |

I was delighted to see that Pteridophyllum racemosum is still in culture with Ian Christie.
Long ago I read about it in Alfred Evans book and put it on my wishlist, but never found it.
It’s remarkable this plant belongs to the Poppy family when looking at the picture.
Is it really such a difficult plant??

They are growing in sun, although the ground doesn't entirely dry out. The calceolus and parviflorum have been flowering in the same spot since 1999. The flavum was purchased as Cypripedium henryi at the 2003 Early Bulb Display in Dunblane and this is its second year of blooming.

I would like to say we find the pteridiophyllum is easy to grow here in my North facing garden which is cool and damp, the picture was taken with a plant growing in a sink again in a shaded area, I have seen a few variations and not all flower as well as this clone which we have had for 20 years, anyway a few Cyprepediums from the same North facing area and two Paris.

Hi Luit and others, I find the Pteridiophyllum easy but slow to multiply we always grow in a cool shaded spot and the photo was a plant growing in a shaded trough, not all plants flower as well as this one which we have had for around 20 years. I add Cyprepedium calceolus, Cyp macranthos pale, Paris japonica and paris lancifolia now within the genus Trilliacea so RHS say.

A couple more cyps
Cypripedium pubescens pubescens
Cypripedium calceolus growing under an acer, with a double Trillium grandiflorum from Blooms of Bressingham. Note the open flowers of the calceolus are twinned, with two per stem.
(N.B. the Cypripedium pubescens flower is 180mm across the horizontal tepals, which compares with 70mm across those of the C. pubescens parviflorum.) |

Which 'mine' are we talking about? My Trillium grandiflorum 'Snow Bunting' from Paul Christian has had two flowers for three seasons. The above Cypripedium calceolus was sold to me as "flowering size" by Hardy Orchids Ltd in early 1999, but flowered for the first time in 2001 with a single bloom. Last year it had three single flowered stems and this year four stems, three with flowers. My C. tibeticum had two flowers in 2001, didn't flower at all in 2002, or 2003, but this year it will have two flowers again. |

Lovely and sunny in Dunblane, but only 16C here!
Cypripedium 'Aki Pale' should be much more vigorous than the species. I fertilise with quarter strength phostrogen or 'Miracle Grow' once a fortnight. Michael Weinert (Frosch) on the www.cypripedium.de/forum offers very useful advice and always recommends growing hybrids before species. I prefer the species, but have some hybrids for comparison. Peter Corkhill (p.corkhill@daelnet.co.uk) is an excellent source of reasonably priced seedlings, but budded plants can be bought from Ian Christie and John Amand at shows (if ordered in advance). Hardy Orchids Ltd and 'Orchids by Post' are two other sources which have produced nice plants. Once they are happy and increase you know you have 'cracked it' as far as growing cyps is concerned.

I've got some photos to post to catch up on what has been happening in my garden over the last two weeks. I'll do it over a couple of posts. It's already 16C here (10.30am) so it may top yesterday's 26C.

Love the phlox - hope you will be putting some seed to the exchange.
We had great weather yesterday too but today is cool and overcast so I don't feel too depressed at being in office.

Carol I have never seen creeping Phlox set seed. We are asuming that the Phlox 'Daisy Hill' has a link to the N Irish nursery Daisy Hill but cant find any ifo on the plant.
We had a warm 21C today. |

I have been impressed by the lovely pictures of great plants appearing on the flowering now here a few different non bulbous plants in our garden.
Both Himalayan plants that are fabulous if you can find a bit of space. We grow them in amongst the rhododendrons as they enjoy similar conditions.
A lovely pale pink form of Ramonda that we have grown for a very long time, we propagate it be removing side rosettes or from leaf cuttings. |

Not so much flowewring now but what will be in flower in ten days time ?
Sandy Leven and I visited Fred & Monica Carries Nursery at Tough to get a selection of plants for the SRGC display garden at Gardening Scotland which starts a week on Friday.
While we were there I found this butter fly and I need someone (Anthony) to put a name to it please.
After a cuople of hours we had a full car load of plants full of promise and buds.
Fred left, Sandy right and Susie the collie dog.
Fred is also our Webmaster who makes all this work. |

A gentle shower refreshed my garden today, so I went out and photographed one of my wisterias, which like my laburnum, is looking good this year.
Two plants from Tibet are blooming too.
Arisaema flavum tibeticum and
Cypripedium tibeticum. Both of these plants are from Paul Christian. |
