John asked for this so here it is for him and everyone else

N. 'Berlioz'

I guess the appropriate would be Fantastique.

Just back from a two day cruise through the southern end of the province.  The blueberries - high and lowbush are brilliant red, quite a sight in the bogs.  The salt water must be at its warmest now as I saw people in swimming along the way and they were conscious.

And while I was away the "undulatum seedling" partially opened.  Eight flowers per stem.

undulatum x sarniensis maybe?

Maybe but my guess is a stray seed fell into the pot. I will have to wait to see undiulatum itself flower and compare.

chocolate? You never mentioned that and I must see if I can detect. Maggi?

Nerine PS-17 'Rosita Missoni'  x  'Ken Scott' getting close to opening. Flower count looks good but she's no Rosita Missoni.

The Nerine page is finished

Now to do Colchicums, Galanthus, misc bulbs, Muscari, Narcissus and Tulips. These should keep the 1m visitors happy.
