Discussion of a dark-colored Chionodoxa larger than C. sardensis made me think of two larger, darker-flowered plants I have here, one that is quite tall and is probably C. siehei, and another I grew from seed under the name C. tmolii. I thought I remembered a discussion of the genus in Brian Mathew's late lamented "Bulb Newsletter," but I find the note (in issue no. 7) to be quite short and not committed to identifying C. tmoli (not tmolii, for reasons Brian explains) with better-understood taxa. The note also mentions that at the time (1994) a National Collection of Chionodoxa was held by Alan Dickinson. Does anyone know if he still has this collection? Jane McGary Northwestern Oregon, USA
