Very exciting Leena  I've never succeeded with punicea.

I should also prick out some three year old seedlings and move to separate bed, but it is also here too cold right now.  For some reason I have many seedlings germinating this year, and I'm most pleased about seedlings sown from plants I got from Carsten last year. Of course they were open pollinated because they were already finished flowering when they got here, but it will be so interesting to see how they are like when they flower in a few years time. Gabriela, really nice, and I especially like your multipetals, but the dark americana is great too. I like the dark anthers in H.japonica.

Wild collected seeds I bought from Holubeck (horridula, integrifolia, prattii and punicea) December are now germinating, and very well, too. The seed pots were outside all winter, under snow and I took them to cold polytunnel two weeks ago where they are now germinating. Even in M.punicea pot there are couple of seedlings coming up. I now hope I can keep all these alive until flowering.  Outside in the garden M.baileyi ('Glacier Blue')  And M.integrifolia, seeds from a kind forumist couple of years ago.

In 2015 I planted five bulbs of C.heuffelianus, some from Janis and some from Leonid Bondarenko, all a bit different, and they have been doing great here. Increasing well but sadly I haven't gotten any seeds from them, possibly because of our weather.  About five years ago I sowed C.heuffelianus seeds from Pilous, and they are flowering now. I especially like the one with very dark tips.

Some snowdrops from last week. The good thing about this cold weather (right now 0C in the middle of the day) is that snowdrops flower longer. 'Wendy's Gold'  This is my 'Bill Clark'. I bought it ten years ago and I think it has flowered twice since. The next year after planting, and then it started going downhill. I moved it to a more moist bed, and then it flowered another time, but then no flowers until now. I distinctly remember that the yellow marking in the inners was right in the beginning. I don't know why it looks like this now this year. Has the original bulb been replaced by a seedling or what?? However, the marking is not as strong as in 'Wendy's Gold'.  'G.plicatus from Staryi Krym', I like this one. In the background G.gracilis planted last summer is just starting to flower.  'Greenpeace' is a good doer here.  As is 'S.Arnott'
