1. Cyclamen repandum. Huge sheets of it, mixed forms of all types. It does very well for me planted in the duff that accumulates under big conifers. C. repandum finishes the nine-month cyclamen season for me. It will start again in late July with a few tentative early blooms on C. hederifolium, which will come to a climax in September and then dwindle away by mid-November. Weather permitting, it will be followed by C. coum, which lasts until mid-March, whereupon C. pseudibericum fills in the gap until C. repandum once again displays its glory. C. mirabile & C. cilicium flower only modestly for me in the fall; C. europaeum is an abject failure. And other species are generally a little too tender to survive in the long run: a good blast of arctic air and they're toast. 2. Endymion <something or other>, a pest of pests, as every seed germinates if you don't de-flower them religiously. 3. Camassia leichtlinii ssp. suksdorfii -- I have some white-flowered bulbs collected locally, but their seedlings revert to the usual blue-violet. Camas is as bad as bluebells for seeding about. I also have a named form coming into flower, 'Princess Something-or-other', a beautiful deep violet with the great virtue of not seeding about. The cream-colored double C. leichtlinii leichlinii is still in tight bud. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Maritime Zone 8, a cool Mediterranean climate on beautiful Vancouver Island
