At one time probably more than half my collection were from Jim and Jenny.

I'd very much like to contribute, it's spurred me to sort out my photo collection.

Maggi, are we talking about plants from Jim and Jenny's seed list or about plant from his own collections?

To start of, Fritillaria ehrhartii. The notes for this collection were

494.800 FRITILLARIA EHRHARTII
Greece, Evia, E of Karistos., 200m. Seasonally damp, N & W - facing sides of gulley on mica
- schist. (A beautiful native of S Euboea & the neighbouring Kiklades. Big, bloomy, yellow
tipped,grape black bells glow to ruby in the evening sun. Stout 20 - 30cm. stems can carry up to6 flowers. Not often seen but easy here under glass.)

Both, Mark.
Great to have you chime in with your examples - much appreciated.

thanks for the clarification Maggi. I'll ned to do some checking of numbers on labels but in the meantime here is one that I think to my regret I have lost. It's a particular Cyclamen persicum f puniceum.

366.552 : CYCLAMEN PERSICUM f. PUNICEUM
No data. From a corm collected by Bertie Blount, almost certainly in Syria.
Not quite the same shade as the preceding but a rich rose- pink. Scented & with beautifully marked leaves.

Another Frit

494.000 : FRITILLARIA DAVISII
Greece, Lakonia, NW of Pirgos Dirou. Low, limestone hills. (Endemic to the S tip of the Mani
peninsula & close to F. graeca but with shiny bright - green leaves & no green stripes on its
tubby, brown - purple chequered bells.
Although one of the most localised species in nature, it has proved to be one of the easiest in cultivation.)

Another plant from YT in Japan:

Muscari armeniacum, ex. pink form. JJA 688.012
688.012 : MUSCARI ARMENIACUM from PINK FORM Turkey, Konya, S of Beysehir Golu. 1100m. Roadside verge. Ex R.& R. Wallis 90-50. (From a selection made in Turkey by Bob & Rannveig Wallis over a decade ago. This has now been named ‘Gul’, Turkish for rose. Pinkish white flowers blush to deep pink as they mature. Though it is rather shy at setting much seed, a good percentage come ‘true’ after two generations of selection.).

Some more Archibald plants posted elsewhere in the Forum :



Crocus biflorus group species (unidentified) which was bequeathed to Janis Ruksans by Jim Archibald. It was originally collected by him SE Cevizli, Turkey.


Cyclamen persicum JJA366.551 from Hans Achilles
366.551 : CYCLAMEN PERSICUM f. PUNICEUM No data. From an exceptional crimson-pink form, grown by John Blanchard's father under the barely decipherable label 'Karpat'. It has been further selected by Peter Moore as 'Tilebarn Karpathos', though there was no other indication that the original came from that island.)


The very lovely Iranian "moleskin" iris- of disputed/undetermined name,  from Jim's stock to Hans Achilles

Another fine plant from JJA seed - grown by Tatsuo Yamanaka  (from  Shizuoka, by the Pacific coast, central part of main island, Japan)

Narcissus papyraceus JJA 702.720






702.720 : NARCISUS PAPYRACEUS No data but from a vigorous, free-flowering clone, almost certainly originating in Morocco. (Clusters of richly scented, white flowers in late winter. Needs a hot, dry summer rest to flower well.)

A  colchicum from Peter T. that somehow escaped transfer here  before now 
314.250 : COLCHICUM FEINBRUNIAE Syria, near Laqlouq. Ex R.& R.Wallis 99-32. (A distinct, very attractive & floriferous, faintly tesselated, pink, medium-sized, autumn-flowering species, recently described & now introduced to cultivation. One of the first species to flower with us, usually appearing in mid-August.)

Colchicum feinbruniae

Repeated from the Paeonia pages.....
After a long, long winter, here in my Belgium garden the first paeony:
P. coriacea ssp. maroccana, grown from Archibald seeds.
Herewith the original text from his catalogue:
PAEONIA CORIACEA var. MAROCCANA (P.c. var. atlantica): Morocco. No further data. Ex a M. Salmon coll. A spectacular feature of the cedar-forest of the Middle Atlas mountains. Smooth foliage & large rose-pink flowers. Not always easy outside in the UK. Absolutely temperature hardy but seems to miss the cold winters & warm, dry summers.
Origin: 746.409 – JJA SEEDS 2008

Indeed, absolutely hardy, but during summer protected by glasses against to much rain (bulb frame cultivation).
Enjoy!
Hendrik
