In reply to Paul's query: no, I don't think it will be very frost hardy - even our light frosts burn its tips a little bit, so I think minus 5 or 6 will probably send it on its way... However, I will endeavor to set seed, so you can give it a try.
It would do okay in Melbourne but would need protection up here.
White fever is in full swing here in the Southern Hemisphere! But let's start with a Leuco-jock: Acis tingitana,
149092-0

149094-1

The first galanthus elwesii is finally open; this is the one known as "Green Outer tips" which Marcus thinks is probably "Comet"; sorry for the poor pic - a bit rushed this morning!
149122-2

This DBI has been around awhile but I don't have a name for it; usuallythe winter flowers get frosted off but this lot just made it into flower during a frost free week!
149098-3

149100-4

Another correa making a splash is "Firebird"
149102-5

149104-6
cheers

Nah, Paul, not omnipotent, I am pretty much omniverous, though!  ;D

Stephen,
That is one of the nicest double clematis, but I haven't been able to get it here either.

Yet another white crocus! C. cancellatus ssp mazzariacus is now open - at least it was on Friday when I got this pic.

And one of the nerines which I think maybe a species but was "rediscovered" in the garden without a label; does anyone know it? I have a feeling it might be N. crispa but that could be fanciful thinking on my part. ::)

The salmon form of Oxalis hirta is lovely and a bit different to the typical one.

cheers
fermi
I like this O' hirta salmon form
This is the style I have not seen :-*
I like oxalis
If you have different kind of Oxalis you can change with me ^^
