Rob,

Anglesey Abbey is in Cambridgeshire. I used to play football right next to the grounds. I was a lot younger in those days but still go past it to play most Sundays.

Janis Ruksans was offering g. krasnovii for sale in 2006 at 100 euro's per bulb.

He didn't have anything as special as that in his 2007 catalogue.

My meddling mother dumped my pot of G. krasnovii

You kept them in a pot Mark? Did you manage to rescue them or have they gone west?

Janis Ruksans will email his list (not the colour catalogue)  for free. So if you know what you want it saves the 5 euros. Might be best to do this in the summer though when the new list comes out

Janis offers a rarity and then needs time to grow enough to offer it again.

 G. koenenianus - 80 Euros in 2003 and 60 in 2004.

Whoever borrowed my 2005 catalogue didn't return it, so I don't know
what happened that year.

As far as I know, he issues only one bulb catalogue.  He was also issuing
a Narcissus one, but I don't know whether he still does.

Orders need to be in before August 1.

He has to restrict how many plants he lists.  As he wrote in the 2004
catalogue, his bulb packing shed is set up for 530 items.  In 2003, he
listed 682, and it was a "packing nightmare".

However, he grows well over 4000.  It means that every year there
is something new to look forward to.
