| Erythronium dens-canis 'Charmer'
This is truly a well named little selection, although mine seems to be a bit paler and whiter then some of the descriptions i've been reading about. This is an old dutch selection form the 1960's so not surprising if what is out on the market now doesn't fit the description from 50 years ago.
Brimeura fastigiata is what the tag says but now i'm scratching my head.... Time to get the books out and redo some labels I think.
So the season is progressing along despite the weather, it's rainy and windy and generally just kind of depressing and miserable outside. Praying for some sun this weekend.
Doing my best to sign this off with a cheers!
Mark
