Hans
It looks quite a large flower - how big is it? Presumably it would be quite happy in your climate.

Arthur :
yes -they have bigger flowers than the other Acis in this time :
petal of A. ionica : 15 mm
petal of A. autumnale : 10 mm
petal of A. rosea : 8 mm
I grow A. ionica not free in my borders - it is to danger !
I can grow succsessfull free outside : A. autumnale .....A. rosea is here not well outside ( better in pots ),
also my ssp. of A.autumnale are in pots ( pulchellum + operathum )
A. nicaense is outside ..but this plants are so small ....

Lovely. It looks very similar to Acis valentinum to which it must be closely related.
I have a small package to send you Hans. I could add a couple of bulbs of A. valentinum if you want?

Tony ,
there are some differences between A. ionica and A. valentina .
do you know from where your A.valentina came ?

Mine came from Wisley RHS Gardens about 10 years ago. They were giving away spare bulbs from a collection made years before. Not much help but it is at least a long grown form in the UK. We could ask Paul Cumbleton if he can find out as he is works in the alpine department there.
