Happy to say that the Volkii I had from Iann a while back have flowered. I duly pollinated them so looking forward to seeing if I've been successful next year. I'm not the best pollinator in the world so it's always interesting.

What a lovely bright colour

The plant on the left, and this is where I'm guessing, looks like there is some Pseudotruncatella involved. I'm going to be wrong here I think but the middle plant on the right of the picture is the other interloper. No idea what it is though.

What I would have liked to have happened was to have recieved my journal earlier and not at the end of the month when I stood little, or no as it turns out, chance of getting any seeds. I also saw the pictures that o...

I am so disappointed that in all the years I have been ordering seeds from the December edition that this year my bulletin was so long in arriving & me ordering as soon as it did come that my cheque has been returned along with the order stating that nothing I asked for was available. Despite th...

I've got a few Rubra but they chose not to flower at the same time in order for me to pollinate. 1 is in flower now bight the others are only just showing the bud. I can see that I'm going to miss them as off to Nepal on the 2nd of Jan
