Beautiful Dirk, It seems autumn is arriving earlier in the eastern part of Germany! Gerd

Gerd  - Here as well, this is the craziest year I have ever seen.  Lachenalia tricolor is in flower here as it is in New Zealand as it is at Bill Dijk's, 5 months earlier than usual for here.  Flower stalks are rising on Nerine sarniensis hybrids 4 months early. N. bowdenii v. wellsii leaves are just emerging outdoors while regular bowdenii have been up for months. Cyclamen persicum and rohlfsianum are flushing without water, far too early. Cyrtanthus brachyscyphus is putting on a good show, 6 months early. Cordylines are flowering for the second time, Hebe longifolia has been in flower since January, the Hedychiums and Crocosmias are flowering earlier than usual despite little warmth. The more you watch plants the less you know!

johnw - t & l last night and perhaps another 50-70mm of rain atop 70mm from the day before.  +16c

Everything is early here too. I have no Sternbergia flowers yet, but the leaves of some of my sicula's are 5 cm, so I have been forced to water them two months earlier than normal.
