some more goodies for November

This is Leucojum autumnale 'Roseum'.

I do have a form with a hint of pink but this is the real thing.

Cyclamen cyprium

Cyclamen intaminatum

meaning 'pure without a blemish' ie no coloured lip

and lastly a spring flowering Gentian out now because of our mixed up weather.

This is Gentiana angustifolius 'Kobalt Blau'

Chatting to various people recently the common census is UK bulbs are 8 weeks early e.g Narcissus 'Cedric Morris' is already blooming instead of January.

Mark those are lovely, Im in awe, the color's are so vivid and dark in color. And Im drooling here. lol very nice.

Beautiful, beautiful pictures, Mark. I have never seen the Leucojum before. It is lovely.

My Cyclamen coum are still blooming although it is starting to get really cold. I think their leaves are as beautiful as the flowers.

What kind of gentian is that? I am starting to get hooked on them and that one is a stunner.

oops I forgot. It's G angustifolia

Thanks Mark.

the cultivar name is 'Kobalt Blau'

Got it. $:^)

My Iris bulbs which I planted in early October are shooting up. They are not supposed to flower until May but they are already 4 inches high!! What on earth will happen to them?

nothing. They always grow in the autumn and then stop by Jauuary. Even if these leaves are destroyed by frost they will go on to produce more leaves and flowers

thanks Mark that is reassuring to know :))
