Colchicum autumnale is coming on strongly, both a white form and deep
pink 'Nancy Lindsey'. This species multiplies well and is relatively
tidy in flower and leaf.
Nerine filifolia is having a good year; also in bloom is the Archibald
offering of N. bowdenii, from 3000m in Lesotho, blooming a month ahead
of any others, as described. It took 7 years from sowing to flowering.
There are a few furtive blooms of Cyclamen hederifolium poking out of a
very protected spot.
