I wonder what's happening on this end?  When I try to download the Bulblog pdf file in Windows a message comes up saying "damaged file" and quits downloading after only an inch or so of the log is viewable. At home on the Mac there's no problem.  I need the read the Bulb Log at work! ;)

Enjoying it immensely as usual.

Ian's just been on the phone.. he's having a great time in England, being well looked after and shown nice gardens.

Shelagh, believe me, we think all the time about packing our bags and going to camp out with some of the Forumists who grow and flower sternbergias so well.

I promise one day i will be up Angie,what i didn't expect is to to learn anything(as it was just a garden visit) and was holding off with questions in case Ian thought just read a book  Dave,but to my amazement i was like a sponge. Ian explains something to you in a fantastic way(the bulb and compressed stem and twinscaling),i would have personally missed it in a book(it would go right over my head)i found myself thinking wow,why can't everybody explain like that.
Maggie i was so tempted to take some chilli seedlings along but didn't fancy a chocolate fine ;D

Davey we all in our Aberdeen Club think we have the best. No matter how many times we hear Ian talk he never disappoints us. Ian just has a way of getting you so involved. One thing I have noticed is that there is never a person having forty winks when Ian gives a talk.
But please remember behind every man there is a brilliant woman  ;D

Davey lets hope you and others come up to Aberdeen someday.

Beautiful Crocus tommasinianus seedling Ian.

It looks like a self sown seedling?

Lovely daffs - Ian has some superb N. cantabricus forms. Eranthis Pauline seems to be a 'cooler' shade of yellow than 'Schwefelganz', or is it just the age of the flower (or imagination)?
