 Iris chrysographes - a near black species with gold markings on the falls; it flowers for about a day and there are only two flowers per stem so you have to be an enthusiast!! |

 Iris Pacific Coast Hybrid grown from Ghio's seed |
 Arisaema candidissimum |
 Helleborus Thibetanus was an almost unknown species until Mikinori Ogisu found it from clues in Pere David's diaries. He found it in Moupin in Sichuan province; 120 years after Pere David's first found it. The bell shaped flowers are two to two and a half inches across. The petals start white and fade to pink with dark veins and finally to green. They flower in March in damp rocky clearings. Seed arrived in Britain in 1991 and this plant was on Ashwoods Nurseries' display in January 2000 at the RHS Horticultural Halls. |

 Saxifraga Fortunei 'Cherry Pie' The plant is small, the flowers are bright pink and abundant. The leaves are about 2 inches across and the flowers are ¾ inch in diameter and 3 inches high. It is growing in a sheltered trough facing north west. It is available from Little Heath Farm Nursery. I received an added bonus with this plant, a tiny annual geranium which flowers and seeds very early before the saxifrage. It has bright red stems and leaves that turn red. As it comes up well before the saxifrage, I was initially very confused as to what I had bought! Peter
