Don't say that to Matt Bishop, I think he prefers the term he coined himself: "inverse poculiform".

My favourite Ella Fitzgerald song is "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off"

Galanthus transcaucasicus 'Alpha Meridians' photographed today!

It is a beautiful drop with lovely meridian lines on the outers but a nightmare to photograph.

Delighted that the bulb is already increasing!

Maggi - We can hear your muffled ohs and ahs from here.  Was the parentage mentioned?


Here's one, G. gracilis ex Dryad seed, from this morning & one that had me momentarily puzzled.  I would normally have suspected darkness the cause but it's been sitting in full light.


Wild storm overnight, heavy rain and 96k/hr winds; calm and sunny by morn.  Grand Étang clocked 158k/hr in les suêtes.
