Yup, got that one a couple of years ago. I noticed that the other book sells for £75 here but $39 in the US. Trouble is $21 postage for one and $22 postage for two.

Still cheaper, though, with the exchange rate?

Mark, safely planted back in to the ground :)
I like looking at the bulbs for I.D. and also the seed/ seed heads. Its amazing how different they sometimes are, sometimes in Frits, Ariaeamas and Corydalis especially it is easier to identify them this way that by the flowers. I wish more books showed the whole plant including the bulbs and seed heads.

Anthony I bought mine in mid-summer when there wasn't so much interest for ten quid.  Worth a thought.

Still cheaper from the US Mark, but £10 is a good buy.

Good thinking Brian, have you Scots blood?

Hi Loes ,

I'm sorry but you are wrong -G. ikariae is a own species
In earlier times goes a lot of plants under G.ikariae v. latifolius - this is a woronowii ( a misstake from earlier botanists ) .
Now exists G. ikariae ssp. iakiae and Gal. ikariae ssp.snogerupii

Best wishes
Hans
