Title: Pavel Křivka seed lists
Post by: PetrNem on December 21, 2013, 02:31:03 PM
It is nice to read here a lot about seed lists from Jurasek, Holubec or Pawelka, but the most valuable rarity in this year I found on the list by Pavel Krivka
http://www.semina.cz/ (http://www.semina.cz/)
Pavel offers as a gratis-bonus for premium clients the true Edraianthus owerinianus from Dagestan in NE-Caucasus. This species is completely new in cultivation!!! Also other species offered like Iris acutiloba subsp. acutiloba, Primula farinifolia and Iris timofeewii were until now probably cultivated only in Russia and not in Europe or elsewhere. Everybody is afraid to go there because of danger of kidnapping or gunfights but the endemic plants of Dagestan - and there are many of - are very very beautiful. (Petr Němec)

Interesting about the Edraianthus owerianus, Petr.
We have had forumists who hoped  they were growing this plant in the past, but it turned out they were not.
Z.Z. gave us news about it here:

A perfect image of it in bloom can be found on the title page of Pavel Křivka seed list.
I recommend you to check it.
