Michael, is this you returned from your travels: how was your trip to the Holy Land?  Did you get out to see many flowers?


Anne, Anthony:
We, too have found that nothing seems to like Arisaema seed heads.... though perhaps in their native lands their may be some 'beastie' who enjoys them, otherwise I cannot understand why the world is not knee deep in Arisaema seedlings :-\ :P

Yes Maggi,I am home exhausted. The trip was much more energy consuming than I had expected. I did get 1100 pictures but most  would not be forum related, the few that are I will post when I get round to editing them. Some wildlife and a few plants.  Gone past my sell by date as far as planting hunting is concerned,I think.

Last friday we had the first snowfall of the year and the last flowers
were covered. It is a pity, that Saxifraga cortusifolia BLACK RUBY always
flowers so late and mostly gets spoiled by the first frosts.

Anthony, I was including birds in 'animals' - they don't eat them either.

I was picking up from Paddy's comments Anne.

Surprised and delighted to find a reticulate iris flowering this morning.  Pot had been exposed to all weathers.  Please excuse the bad photographs - they are the best after several attempts
