Hmmm, impressive edges! I started GL early inside, the other new ones were later, Crystal Blush is getting there. The other extablished ones I keep in the greenhouse and have all survived the long, cold winter.

The new spathes on Gem Lavender are showing more, and 3 out of 4 have leaf spathes with them, can't wait! I can also detect a very thin white edge in a couple of places on the open spathes.

Robert I have trouble with light on them, I have that one on the North side of the bath tub and even if the sun is behind cloud it glares, it takes well closer to dark but the yellow on the little one has proved glary, yellows do that on some daffodils too.

You could be right Kenton, I was beginning to think Cameo too. Looking back at Flame it doesn't look to have that dark throat. My Cameo hasn't flowered for the last 2 years, this year it is bigger than ever, with 4 good separate growth points so I guess it has increased well. The first winter I nearly lost it, the original bulb went rotten but had produced 4 new bulbs and they all rotted but one, it was the same long winter about 2000/01 that rotted the Dracuncs. I'm hoping it flowers, I will be disappointed if it doesn't, it does start pale and increases the colour flush as it ages but this one has a strange shape, it almost mimicks the strange leaf with it's wavy edges.

Cameo on film, I took a digi of it, not a great pic but the only one I have.
