As someone who has a garden that is pretty well inaccessible to deer, and who has (meantime ) won the rabbit battle, I don't know quite how I would cope with having fine clumps of any plant, let alone such beautiful Iris, chomped off by marauding deer.....not well, I fear.....
Ian, the photos in this bulb log are particularly good - the close ups of the frit flowers are so sharp, and what can I say about the pot of Narcissus x susannae - worth a Forrest medal surely!Also, I wanted you to know that I did good missionary work for the bulb log at our hotel 1800m up in the Atlas Mountains while we were away. The other tourers were forcibly made to look at that weeks log on the laptop after dinner! One was actually a SRGC member WHO HAD NEVER BEEN ON THE FORUM!!!!
Ian - a very beautiful edition of the Bulb Log. Is the very dark form of E. dens-canis the same as the clone which is available commercially under the name 'Old Aberdeen'?
Your F. chitralensis looks magnificent, and photographed so well. Presumably it's self-incompatible.Does your F. minuta divide? Mine looks similar & returns to delight me every year but steadfastly refuses to multiply. Maybe I must take a deep breath and break the bulb in two
From Andrew: ..... in one of the photos there appears to be a blue crocus behind the main subject of the photo (a yellow flower I do not have the log open at the moment), is this correct ?
It is Crocus veluchensis.... or a hybrid thereofEdit by maggi: sorry lost the plot there... it is a Crocus pelistericus!
