Flowers and Foliage Now / Re: November 2024 in the Northern Hemisphere
« Last post by Robert on November 13, 2024, 06:44:03 PM »
Hi Mariette,

It is nice to see some of the “pretties” from your garden.



Temperatures have finally cooled to average levels for this time of year. A few plants did not burn this past summer and we are actually getting some autumn color. Pictured is Acer japonicum ‘Green Cascade’.



Pictured is leaf variation in a set of Cyclamen coum seedlings. This species does well in our Sacramento, California garden.



Crocus speciosus aff. bloomed in our garden during October. I acquired the bulbs from a local garden center about 10-15 years ago. All bulbs in the package grew and appeared to be the same clone. They have never set any seed. Over time the bulbs have multiplied and I have moved some around in our garden. This selection seems to do well in our garden.

Autumn continues in the Bulb Log, the days are shortening as we head into winter but there is still plenty to see and do in the many garden habitats.
Please click the link to see and read all.

Bulbs General / Re: Colchicum 2024

Leena, You grow a stunning range of colchicums, such big and beautiful clumps! I wonder whether the seedling is a chance one or was raised intentionally? Colchicum woronowii is the only one in my garden which produces seed regularly and self-seeds.

What a beautiful sight, Gail! Unfortunately, this year this species doesn´t put up the usual show, probably lacking a dry summer rest.

Snowdrop season has begun:)

Galanthus reginae-olgae 'Camebridge'

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

Fall-flowering crocus start late this year in my garden. This is an unusual seedling of Crocus speciosus.





More blue from an Iris foetidissima gone wrong.



A seedling of Arum italicum.

Wow... your friend's Meconopsis horridula is gorgeous Fermi. I've tried it several times, but it failed at germination. How big (tall) is this M. horridula on your friend?

Thanks for showing me. A great pleasure here... at 4 Celsius, fog and rain...😉

Hi Fermi,

The plant pictured “looks” like Brodiaea elegans. Making a definitive identification online is questionable. I would feel much more comfortable looking at the plant in your garden. If you have a large collection of Brodiaea species in your garden, hybrids are possible.
Hi Robert,
I suspect this is a hybrid between Brodiaea elegans and possibly B. coronaria which I also grow in pots.
Last week I visited a friend who lives just 25 km away and she can grow many cool climate plants I have no hope of growing here.
Here is her Meconopsis horridula and Roscoea humeana (or R. cautleyoides?)
cheers

There are a few theories why salmon leap, for fun of orientation but sresearch has concluded that they leap to get rid of louse infestation.

I have come to the conclusion that the Salmon are leaping to display their strength to the females so that they are a priority in choice for mating. Whether this is the case or not I don,t know.
