Armin I don't see it in their catalogue
It's there Mark, along with a photo of C. hadriaticus pretending to be C. niveus.

Edit
Go to 'Fotogallery' where you will find C. cartwrightianus 'Pale Clone'.  I wonder what this is? It is suspiciously cheap at 10 corms for 11€.

nice ones :)
Did the Nerine Hera bloom with foliage up?
It seems there to be some foliage in the photo but it might be from an other plant.
Nice plant is it hardy to almost frost or even hardier?
Thanks for showing

Kind regards

Again a small harvest this week, but I noted the following entries for you:

Haemanthus deformis 1                   
Haemanthus deformis 2             

The first Hyacinths of this winter season on the show benches:

Hyacinthus multiflorus pink
Hyacinthus Atlantic
Hyacinthus Bright Eyes     
               
Iris unguicularis Walter Butt 1               
Iris unguicularis Walter Butt 2         

The last entry of this week:

This plant is mostly seen in flower during September/October, but since some
years I am trying how they flower outside when repotted rather late and just left
the watering etc. to nature.
Here is this year's result:
Scilla lingulata

As usual Luit you brighten my day. I wish my Iris unguicularis looked as pristine as the ones you have shown.

Scilla lingulata is a beauty Luit, especially in a good clump like that and I really like the pink Hyacinth multiflorus. It has a more "natural" appearance than the very formal and stiff kinds. Thank you for these lovely pictures.
