I have just a few late flowering gems to add to the October list, although the Colchicums have already succumbed to the weather.

Colchicum kotschyi
Crocus zonatus
Cyclamen cilicium
Cyc. cilicium leaf pattern detail
Kalma latifolia
Oxalis massoniana
Saxifraga fortunei 'Pink Haze'


Hello Shelag,

your "Crocus zonatus" is a nice clump of C. speciosus. :o
The trade name "C. zonatus" is obsolete but still used. :(
The correct name would be C. kotschyanus kotschyanus  ;)

Antony,
Paul said he would kill me when I said Fritillaria camtschatkensis is a weed in my garden.
Looking at your cyp I say Look out and keep your head down. ;D
Someday I have to find out how you do it.'

Göte, you can see some lovely Cypripediums in the pix from the SRGC Aberdeen show  elsewhere in the forum....
see here, there are four pages! http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=1798.0

.....but here is a photo of Anthony's 'Emil' in flower at that show... winning the Aberdeen Quaich for the best plant in Section 2.

That is disgusting! ;D

My C. formosanum, flowering in October (NZ) is much more refined, with a mere 3 flowers. QUALITY, rather than just quantity. Oh well, I'll concede some quality in Anthony's as well. :) Besides, an Australian friend currently has 20 stems on his formosanum. :P

Thanks for the corrections Armin, it's a good job I bought plenty of labels at the Discussion Weekend.

Nice plants and very skilful photos. How hardy is Scilla maderensis?

Yes, the Eryngium leavenworthii stays purple when dried. I have seen herbarium specimens many, many years old that were still that bright purple.
