Thanks Ron , Karin Person from Sweden does .

OK thanks. Is it a private database, or is there a pathway we can follow to share in the information?

"Now that this matter on cartwrightianus and oreocreticus is solved" ................. it is?? Did I miss something?  I didn't think they could be separated until hair studies were done in the field And then............

I think it is Ron .... Now I remember also  that most of the flowers where closed when we are there on a cloudy day .(did also checked al my pictures , have more pics then I could show) Also maps from Janis with distribution of cartwrightianus shows me a lot . Our findings are surely on other locations .And this maps also fit with the information from Brian Mathew.
But I would be good to look for the hairs from species in the wild ...and I am stil a candidate to do this study

You might not understand this typically British play on words, Kris - but the above might make you 'the heir apparent'?

Great you help me on this matter Gerry ! Maybe I have to look very close to my pictures ? But I suppose that 's to late now (pictures maybe don't show this details)   and next time I have to look closer when we are in the field ...

The throat hairs are clearly visible to the naked eye (even to my aged eyes!) but I don't know whether they would be apparent on a photo.

Stunning pictures Kris !
I'm just reading your posts and for sure it was a very successful trip .
Pity for Biarum and.. another question : did you find Androcymbium reichingerii flowers ?
Thank's for sharing all this stuff

Thanks Fred ! Glad you like it . Oh yes , this was a great trip ! Before we left, we are a bit concerned ....We talk a lot with other friends (like Hendrik and many others ) and most other experiences from trips like that are from october . We did think that we are much to late for a lot of things ...But we are in the right time for the most. So we are lucky !
Yes the Biarum was a pitty ....but if I get the chance I go back for that one ....

We did not see Androcymbium to ....Yes , ofcourse ....now I realise that we have missed that one to....I think I have some locations of this one ...(and it must be flowering that time ?) Another reason to go back ....

I do what you have done a lot of times ,some weeks ago Cliff .....I used google translate and .....could not understand it   

[ranunculus]

Even a very detailed explanation would leave you just as confused, Kris ... forgive me for inflicting this on you.   

[Maggi Young]

Kris - I haven't kept a strict count - but I think you have around thirty reasons for a return trip - so far!!

Cliff - I'm looking forward to your explanation of heir apparent........can't believe you are chickening out.....

[krisderaeymaeker]

No problem  Cliff...I keep this in mind for the next time we meet each other  We have maybe more time and it is more easy then in a written conversation ...
Or maybe I find the solution myself , sometimes I am a bit "diehard" ....

[ranunculus]

My dear Maggi ... a few weeks ago Kris and I were having fun on the VRV website trying to translate many paragraphs about 'drool' (don't ask) and that proved hard enough!!!!!   

Kris, do you have many words in Flemish that are spelt slightly differently, but pronounced 'nearly' the same?

I am always good to find  excuses for such things Maggi ......And I am lucky.... I am always able to convince my lady ..

Yes  Cliff , is this my first hint ?
