The Nerine season has commenced

cheers

Nerine filifolia (I think?)
-
A nice plant David, and setting seed already. That's early.
-
Thanks Ashley. The first flower head opened at least three weeks ago, maybe I started watering too soon? The plant was given to me last year as "an extreme non-flowerer"
-
Nerine 'Countess of Mulgrave'.
-
Your Countess looks rather noble Ralph; blue blood showing 8)
'Wolsey' is my first this year, with an opulent gold sparkle that's hard to capture.
Added more pix with brighter sparkles but colour now too orange :-\

Lovely Nerines Ashley, Fermi and Ralph.
I might have commented before in these pages about my inability (or my garden's inability ;) ) to grow Nerines. Last year, following a visit to a local National Collection, I bought three N. bowdenii, in flower, and planted them in the garden, I may even have posted pictures of them. This year, apart from one or two fragile leaves, not a sausage. BUT in mid-summer I was given a sackful of Nerine bulbs, some of which I planted in the garden where they have since been subsumed by some rampant Salvias (when I get two minutes I'll have a root around and see if any of them are left) but the others I planted in large pots......... and some have flowered.

Well done David. Nerine 'Godiva''. Flesh tones?

Better than a gas-fire, Ashley!

The first N. bowdenii is in flower here - Nerine bowdenii 'Alba' ex Ken Hall.
[attachimg=1]
I think by now it has a name, I seem to recall KenH was going to name it after his wife or the wife of Peter Norris. The flowers are substantially larger than 'Bianca Perla'. I have tried to cross the two in the hope of getting a virus-free white with no luck, a few tiny seeds were set but they did not sprout. We shall try yet again.

That's a beautiful white N.bowdenii, John.
I don't think that I've seen a pure white here; I must ask around,
cheers

Nerine 'Oberon', Nerine 'Rushmere Star' and Nerine filamentosa.

What a day, sunny and 24c, a bit steamy and the Nerines are moving quickly.
1. A promising self-sown seedling I've been watching.
2. Good colour on this one, we'll see:
Nerine PS-16-01 PS-16-02 'Quest' x ('Revlon' x 'Victor')-27157a
3. Smithers' cross
Nerine PS-10-05 [('Tibet' x ('Wavebush' x 'Foudroyant')-27320b)]-30707
Tried the inline full size image which worked a treat yesterday but today the pix were hopelessly scrambled.......

Lovely John.

This morning Nerine PS-16-02 'Quest' x ('Revlon' x 'Victor')-27157a is looking promising, a bright solid no apologies orange.
EDIT - NOT PS-16-01 AS PREVIOUSLY STATED.

Wonderful colour John.
-
Brain - The Nerine says thank-you.
Yes the colour is very good but this is its first flowering & only nine flowers in the truss. I'm hopeful the count will rise down the road, 12-15 would be nice.

Some beauties there John.
Blanchefleur
Mini Orange
-
Nerine 'Blanchefleur' is flowering here as well, but not as prolifically.

Also flowering, Nerine humulis var breachiae.

Last Monday afternoon I went to see Steve Eyre's National Collection here in Devon.... and forgot to take my camera.... it was lovely. I saw 'Blanchefleur', what a nice plant.
-
Better than a gas-fire, Ashley!
;D

I take no credit Ralph. These came from Exbury in August/September. The test will be repeat-flowering & multiplication.
-
Best red seedling to date and as one might guess it's a volunteer found in a pot of N. undulata seedlings. Quite impossible to capture the true colour.

A dark one in flower here, Nerine PS-14-06 = 'David Lionel' x ('Quest'x'Eve')-27712b.

Now this is a bit pf a puzzle. When it first flowered in 2015 I thought the lack of a main flower stalk might be an aberration, the extremely generous pedicels emerge all at once. One wonders if the male parent 'Curiosity' AM involves huttoniae or krigei. Has anyone observed this phenomenon?

This week it seems to be the new reds, Nerine PS-09-10 ['David Lionel' x ('Bagdad' x 'Pantaloon')-25519a] first flowering. The previous posted red veered to orange after about a week but I think this one is such a no apologies red that it will retain its colour.

Inspirational John ;)

Infectious too Brian. The cure is the Nerine & Amaryllid Society......
Another shot yesterday in the sun, Nerine PS-09-10 ['David Lionel' x ('Bagdad' x 'Pantaloon')-25519a]

I don't know that it's a cure John, went to a great talk by Nick Bailey (ex Chelsea Physic Garden) on building his silver-gilt Chelsea garden -warts and all -and bought another bowdenii hybrid!
