Oron,

I do like the non-striped Urginea maritima, but even more because that is a much denser flower spike than I have ever seen before.  Like the previous striped pic that was posted, mine tend to have flowers spaced out along the stem, whereas yours is a dense mass of flowers.  I'm assuming clonal difference rather than just growing conditions?  Yours reminds me almost of the setup of an Eremurus.  Very, very nice!!

Hans,

Beautiful!!  The Gentians in particular.

Hello Oron, this is the tipical form in Spain, with dark veins. I grow this particular plant from seeds collected in south Spain, but I have seen other plants from Portrugal with same veins. Your plant is beautiful  with all flowers open at the same time!

This is Neomarica longifolia, from Venezuela.

Another one,

Rafa, what a nice plants! ;o)

Here Arum pictum started to flower
- it can smell awfully but as it is growing in the garden and I have catarrh - I hardly noted anything.

You have a very nice colour form of Crocus banaticus.  From where did you obtain it please.

[Rafa]

Thank you Hans, very beautiful Arum as well.

Beautiful genthian pictures, and the rest, congratulations to all

Hello,

a floriferous plant, flowering the whole summer and still very nice: Rehmannia elata.
Frost-hardy here, but dislikes winter wetness!

All the best from Linz

If you wanted to borrow my copy, before deciding if its worth buying youself, pm me and I'll post it to you.

Giles Thank you I was not aware and have sent you a PM.

Hello Art,

I got the Crocus banaticus from Rareplants.co.uk

This weekend we had such nice warm sunny weather here!
Good for making some pictures mostly of late (or long ) flowering plants
and some nice colourful shrubs.
The Helianthus salic. would grow 3 m. high if we would not have so much wind,
but I would be unhappy, not having this nice yellow this time of year.

In batch two the Crocus and Nicandra are plants most time of year invisible,
but in October they flower always.
The Nicandra came by birds I believe. Never seeded it myself here.
The shown Tricyrtis is a beautiful plant which flowers for months.
