Crocus nubigena  /taselianus
This beautiful crocus I got from Jim Archibald under name Crocus nubigena as collected at Goktepe, but nubigena isn't distributed so far to east. Putting on map localities of my Turkish crocuses and comparing pictures I came to conclusion that it is Crocus taselianus, first corms of which I collected during my second trip to Turkey and then named as sp. nova isauricus affinitas (new species similar to isauricus). What is real isauricus still remain mystery, but this one later was described by Erich & Co as C. taseliensis (by Taseli Yaila). This enlarges area of this beautiful crocus something to west.

From a post elsewhere by Tim Ingram of Copton Ash.....
"Scilla hyacinthoides. In the words of Jim Archibald from his seed lists: 'Seldom seen in gardens. A tall handsome species, occurring locally and sporadically through southern Europe to N. Iraq. Stout stems up to 1m high carry cylindrical racemes of about 100, starry, pale-margined, violet-blue flowers'. (I think elsewhere Jim likened this to being a 'blue eremurus'...) "

Is Paeonia wendelboi the same as Paeonia iranica which I saw in some Swedish gardens a few years ago?

[Maggi Young]

I think it may well be the same as you saw, Roma. 
P. wendelboi was only named in 2014 and so may well have  been distributed  under the name of it's country of origin  by then. Jānis Rukšāns and Henrik Zetterlund described the species in the Alpine Gardener #82 of June 2014 , pages 230-237
