« Last post by Guff on April 24, 2024, 09:26:11 PM »
Crocus tommasinianus can flowering in the third Spring. First Spring, would be when they put up a leaf for the first time.

Vernus types take longer, 5+ Springs.

Thanks very much Maggi, Stan and Cyril, a quick and comprehensive reply as always.
What a fabulous plant as well ( looks like there are plenty of cuttings on the plant as well 😜)

Crocus / Seed to flower
« Last post by Diane Whitehead on April 24, 2024, 08:52:36 PM »
I have pots of crocus seedlings from the 2018 Crocus Group list.

None has flowered yet.  How long does it usually take?

Do wallabies eat Rhodophiala or just jump on them?

Some info from Cyril : " The primula hybrid is ‘Spring Cheer’.  It received a PC last year at the Glasgow show and I was asked to name it.  I asked Carole (Bainbridge) at the Perth show if she had any confirmation about the name but she had not heard yet and was going to enquire.  I attach the notes card that was shown with the plant and a photo of the plant I took the day before."




 Thanks, Stan and Cyril for the help.
 Hope that's what you needed  to know, Lawrence!

Villu, Leena is perfectly right, the combination of ´Amy Doncaster´with the blue hepatica is admirable. Also, the one with ´Marjory Brown´- I guess the blue comes from a chionoscilla?

Two more pics from our local bluebell woods.





 Lilies of the valley grow together with the bluebells in the wild, also here in the garden.



An Arisaema triphyllum seedling grown from US-seed.



A hybrid between Arum italicum and maculatum with spotted spathe.

Interesting shrubs, ruweiss! The scented lilacs are among my favourites!

Leena, I like the white daphne, it looks so much brighter than the ordinary one! The changes of weather may be similar here, though resulting in pics similar to Yours 2 months earlier.

Gabriela, I´m sorry - I changed by mistake Marc´s and Your location for a moment. Of course, zone 5 will be later than zone 7!

Robert, Your garden is as colourful as ours only may be in summer! We don´t know these strong, bright reds, blues and yellows here at this time of the year. Diplacus aurantiacus was a leggy plant for me, indeed, and I wasn´t sorry when it passed away. Erythranthe bicolor is very pretty.

In my garden, the tree peonies are in full swing, this is a hybrid between ´Gessekai´and ´Major Howel´.



Paeonia rockii and its first generation hybrids succomb to the wet condtions here, but my seedlings of ´Gessekai´ pollinated with them do well on their own roots. This is another one from the same cross.



Again a seedling of ´Gessekai´, this time crossed with a nameless white F 1 hybrid of P. rockii. Both the pollinators died.

Common Sandpipers are back along the river.



Marsh Marigolds are in flower.



Siskins were seen on the bird feeders.



A Hare was on the road, as I approached it ran into a field.



Squirrels are regular visitors to the bird feeders.
