There are a few Colchicum and Crocus that flowers in the greenhouse. The light is not enogh so they are a little scrambling.
Yesterday I finished the foundation for one of my new bulbhouse (3). They will be unheated and with glas. Hopefully the bulbs will start later and look better. Of course it´s almost full already. I just have to build the roof before the winter.

Wonderful Crocus, Peter!
Any idea what it is?
Where is it from?

It´s from Syria. I don´t know if the yellow is a alba form or something else.

Hmm, Syria?
My first thought seems to be confirmed: Crocus allepicus!

The yellow one isn't as easy to ID: graveolens and vitellinus both
occour in Syria. Graveolens has an unpleasent smell and 5-8 leaves
0,5 to 1,5mm broad, while vitellinus has only 2-4 leaves 1,5 to 3mm broad!
Hope these dates will help you to ID!

I bought some Petrocosmea from Aberconway Nursery last year. They are best when they are just one single rosett but the flowers are OK to.

But, Lesley, I am sure you will grow them again!

But not available here recently, not the species anyway. Haven't seen seed either.

Wow! Your Hamamelis is very early, Do. When it stops raining ( if it stops raining this week,) I will see how far along my buds are here in Aberdeen.

Not an alpine but lovely when you stand back from it is Mahonia charity. Though a little leggy it is still a bonus as it grows under a very large birch which doesn't encourage other plants

Mahonia Charity is appreciated by hummingbirds. They are also
sipping from Fuchsias and Arbutus unedo.
