Hyacynthoides lingulata is really lovely. So is Narcissus . Prospero, I've already sown and tried in the rock garden, but it can't stand my winters.
The snowdrops are starting their dance and it's lovely. :)


Here my Cornus florida are taking on their incredible autumn colour. I love them every season of the year.


 A poor Crocus speciosum struggles against the torrential rain.


Isodon longituba blooms really late, its flowers suffer less from the rain: it's starting now so I can't send its seeds to the exchange, although I tested them last year and they germinated a little (but with a low germination rate).


Cyclamen cilicium, well let's say I bought these bulbs under that name... let's hope it's the right one...

at last, my Cobaea scandens is flowering, also drowned by the rain.
 The flowers open in a luminous white-green, then turn dark purple. What a fascinating big flower it is in a pot, the ones in the ground are even later.
 Does anyone have any experience of winter survival for this species? It takes a long time from seed. And it probably won't have time to bear fruit.

You´re lucky, Stefan - in my garden, G. reginae-olgae didn´t approve of the excess of rain and flowers very shyly.
