When I see the beautiful pictures of Ali and Sarah, I am even more on my order. Hopefully they deliver soon ... but with you in GB is every weekend a plant show ... madness ... I envy you really very much.  :)
Thanks for the great photos, Maggi.

On this way also best regards to Ali & Sarah

Cyril's Forrest medal number 56 with Jeffersonia dubia alba. This plant was one  of the trio that won him the Dundas Quaich for class 2. He then took the Joyce Halley award for best plant  from seed with  Saxifraga aretioides as well as the bulb trophy with Fritillaria glauca. Finally info on Sax. aretioides
