JJA 702.259: Narcissus miniatus
Turkey, Içel, E of Akdere. 185m. Open areas among Quercus coccifera scrub on limestone. R. & R. Wallis 08-122.
(N. serotinus, flowering between September & December, has recently been cinsidered to encompass two species. As a whole, it is distributed around all of the Mediterranean coastal areas, except of Most of Egypt & Turkey, whence there are very few collections. Bob & Rannveig Wallis tell us the forms here were particularly fine. Sweet-scented white, flowers with little, orange-yellow coronas on 20cm. stems recall a N. miniature poeticus. For the alpine-house or bulb-frame, where it needs a thorough drying-out in a warm temperature in summer.)


Sowing: Oct. 2009
Germinating: Nov. 2009
First blooming: Oct. 2014

First 2 pics were taken 18 Oct. 2014
Last one was taken 8 Nov. 2009

Acording to the KEW PLANT LIST, its name was changed to Narcissus obsoletus.

JJA 343.000 : Crocus caspius *
Iran, Mazandaran, Caspian coast W of Chalus. Among scrub, in sand.
(From both our own and P. Furse 5035 colls. made below sea-level along the Caspian shore in the 1960's. A beautiful autumnal species, with yellow-throated, white to lilac-pink flowers. Quite hardy in the UK but seldom seen - it does not like being too hot & dry in summer.)

Seed of JCA 590.801, Iris lycotis, germinated yesterday. (I know, not quite plants, but I'm hoping for large drifts of these in the garden in about thirty years....)

Good for you - hope costs nothing, after all  and optimism and forward planning should be the watchwords of every gardener   :D ;)

Assuming the seedlings live, anyway. Jim and Jenny were in the garden here, many years ago, and it would be nice to think of him visiting again, and seeing large drifts of the various oncos I'm growing from seed (trying to grow) collected so long ago.

Campanula collina Archibald collection number 253.600 germinated January 2003. Does not run or seed anywhere just stays in this lovely clump with its beautiful soft blue bells. It's gorgeous.

Iris again. All I can say is that these better not die just because I posted pictures of them. (The strange brown patterns on the wall are from years of misting.)
These are JJA 590.805, 600.600, 590.801, 590.256, 589.605, 596.604, 584.750, and 597.950.

One of my best garden memories is visiting Jim and Jenny, quite apart from growing plants from their seed. Campanula collina is an example that we grew and must grow again. For those who didn't have the chance to see anything of 'Bryn Collen' here are a few pictures of stock plants Jim grew to collect seed from in polytunnels (with thanks to David Stephens for scanning my slides). It's hard to exaggerate the importance and influence of a plantsman and seed collector and distributor of Jim's stature, even though to gardeners in general his name will not be known. I agree with Marcus how valuable it is to record and revisit these collections - I just wish I could grow the plants as well as he did! It certainly ties in with much of the debate about the EU discussions that have been mentioned elsewhere. Place onerous restrictions on the freedoms to grow and propagate natural species, and on specialist growers, and the result is a decline in an overall understanding of plants and the value that is placed on them.
