The pallet complete. I should have taken some close ups to show  the  diversity of plants -approx 60 different species /cultivars. We have labled them which  some may find  a bit obtrusive  but  it lets the public  know what they are.

A few more snaps. The troughs part planted plus Jeanie's primulas  in the van. The troughs  in position  mounted on upturned pots. Ian's plants  for the back. the peacock  butterfly liked the celmisias  - larger peacocks nosily roam the grounds.

 A new crocus species growing wild in Kurdistan Province, Iran, is described and illustrated with photographs and distribution maps provided by Mahfouz Advay from Iran and Jānis Rukšāns, Dr. biol. h.c. from Latvia. As is stated in the article, “new discoveries continue to add to our knowledge of the crocus diversity.”
From the magazine of the Klub skalničkářů Praha, “Skalničky” there is  a plant portrait from  Zdeněk Řeháček in North-East Chechia.

What a treat!  Lovely violet tinge on the flower's edge.

These and most of the ones in cultivation are var. williamsii from Nepal rather than the pure white ones we saw in Himachal
