In flower today and always with clean foliage Paeonia peregrina (Romanian form) JJA#747720.

Now why is it I can photograph and capture this startling red but not red rhodos?

From Pat Toolan :
"I noticed this tiny little bulb today while weeding. I believe it is Hyacinthella nervosa JJA.571.360. The flower is less than a fingernail size. "Turkey, Urfa, E of Birecik, slopes of Kara Dag. 800m. Limstone ledges & fissures. ( A seldom collected species from the N edge of the Syrian Desert, an extremely hot area in summer. Dense racemes of about 20, stemless blue bells, sometimes violet-tinged, above two twisting leaves with undulate margins.)" - Jenny Archibald catalogue "

Hyacinthella nervosa JJA.571.360

Calochortus striatus  JCA1.176.500. This is a plant of hot alkaline flats and semi-desert. Apparently it often grows in the shade of low scrub which it twines through. Under a full Scottish sun (under glasss) it behaves in a similar fashion!  8)

The Bomarea and Calochortus are fabulous plants...

With grateful thanks to Maggi for this information after I put this photo of Cynara hystrix onto Facebook. (Hope our plants might set seed this summer).

Perhaps this, Tim? 372.100 : CYNARA HYSTRIX Morocco, Middle Atlas Mts., above Ifrane. 1700m. Open, stony areas on limestone. (Maintained from seed we collected in 1962, this remains little-known in cultivation as it so seldom sets enough seed for propagation. Desired by almost all who see it, this is one of the most striking of thistle-like plants with 50cm. stems of large heads of royal-blue flowers, surrounded by lilac-pink phyllaries, elongated into stiff, curved spines. In nature, the deeply cut foliage vanishes before it flowers in summer. No trouble & seems to live forever (without increasing much vegetatively) in a really hot, sunny, dry site.) - from the Archibald Archive- masterseedlist page 54 on the SRGC website.

347.908 : CROCUS MATHEWII
Turkey, Antalya, SW of Elmali. 1000m. Open hillsides in very stony terra rossa. P.& P.Watt coll. (A lilac, autumn-flowering, SW Turkish saffron Crocus distinguished in the type-description mainly by its rich, deep violet throat, though in most sites many plants lack this essential characteristic. In this site, investigated by Peter and Penny Watt when the plants were in flower, all have intense purple throats extending to about one-third of the tepals.)

364.302 Crocus karduchorum
Turkey, Bitlis, SSE of Bitlis. 1680m. Openings among Quercus scrub on W-facing slope. R. & R. Wallis 09-175. (Only found in this small area & confused with a form of C. kotschyanus for 100 years after Kotschy's 1859 type coll. (after another 50 it still is in many bulb lists.). Little-known in gardens, where it is quite fastidious & should not be kept too hot & dry when dormant. A very lovely, leafless, lilac-blue autumn flower utterly distinct in its arresting, floppy, feathery, white style. "A gorgeous thing, my favourite autumn Crocus" commented Henrik Zetterlund.)
