Hi David, for me, your message came in fine. Let's see... I can see my alliums fading, only Allium obliquum still gives a good show - a true long time performer for that Genus. I have a few European gladiolus (I think palustris, but i'm not totally sure). My Kniphofia hybrid has burst into no less than 15 torches (what a show!), some alstroemeria lightu hybrids flower where i've never planted them, and ,most spectacular for an irid-lover like me, I have some Cypella aquatilis hovering above their trough. The next buds to open should be Tropaeolum speciosum, Bletilla striata or maybe some of the commercial lilium hybrids. -- Martin ---------------------------------------------- Southern Germany Likely zone 7a Am 06.06.2017 um 02:26 schrieb David Pilling: > Hi, > > The PBS list is running slowly and I need to check if it is running at > all. > > Flowering here (NW England) at the moment, Cyrtanthus brachyscyphus, > Dichelostemma congestum.
