Beautiful Trilliums, Claire! The one which Herman pointed out is special, but I liked all T.chloropetalums, especially the one from wild collected seeds.
Trillium from Dave's seeds are also good, and I love the yellow one. I have similar also from Dave's seeds. :)

Herman, your Trillium chloropetalum ex 'Val Mulvihill' is very nice and unusual colour. :)

My real yellow snowdrops are not up yet, but it is very typical that snowdrops are olive green here. Some more than others, some are with mulch, some don't have mulch so it isn't always because they were covered by mulch or leaves. When ground frost is deep, the olive green or yellow is more pronounced.
They become more green as flowering continues, but some are never as "green" as in more southern countries, and it depends on a year and weather.
Here is 'Bambino' coming through snow, no ground frost in this bed this year. :)

In another neglected part of the garden (there are quite a few of them, actually :-[ ) I spied a late flowering form of Amaryllis belladonna.
There was still viable looking pollen so I decided to try my luck crossing it with some of the nerines in an attempt to increase our range of xAmarines. Time will tell if any of the crosses take,

In a neglected part of the garden a clump of Nerine rosea has been growing without any input from us apart from clearing a bit of the overgrowth to allow the flowers to see the light,

Last weekend I decided to put the sprinkler on this bed and it seems that helped spur on the Rhodophiala bifida to finally send up a flower stem with the promise of many more,

Almost a week ago the first Sternbergia lutea finally made an appearance in the rough grass at the base of a rock garden.
Today there were a few more in bloom,

Heard back from Hillary -
"Hi Lawrence,
From the time of our announcement, last summer, of our pending retirement, stock - including Primulas - was quick to sell, mainly to retail mail order customers.

Regards

Hilary "
