fermi de Sousa:
It's officially autumn here! Still expecting some hot weather though, so we're not out of the woods yet.
Some typical autumn flowers have popped up including these colchicums - raised from seed as something that they're not!
Possibly they were cross pollinated but the first one was supposed to be a spring flowering species.
The second was given to me by Jon (Mini-Bulblover on this Forum) but he said it wasn't what it was supposed to be or he had gotten it as an unnamed dwarf species.

At the FCHS gardens a couple of weeks ago there was a lovely clump of Nerine rosea and some Colchicum x agrippinum

VERY NICE!

fermi de Sousa:
Thanks, Marc.
Here are a couple more nerines in our garden in Redesdale,
1) Ariel, a paler colour in real life
2) Nerine rosea
cheers

fermi de Sousa:
A few more from last week:
1) Cyclamen mirabile ex 'Tilebarn Nichlas' from AGS Seedex many years ago
2) xAmarine - appearing to be a cross between Amaryllis belladonna and Nerine bowdenii - like a nerine on steroids!
3 & 4) Aster (Symphotrichum) "Purple Prince'
cheers
