Should snakes head Fritillaria be showing by now? I had lots of them in the orchard but I can't see any this year, I keep hoping it is because it is still too early. There's no sign of mine yet either W.F. These pretty lilac/pink flowers have come out, can't remember what they are, I know I should know but maybe one of you can jog my memory?

I don't think they're ixias Steve, I was wondering if they were puschkinias but they're the wrong colour I think?

Look very like Chionodoxa luciliae (the pink form).

Look very like Chionodoxa luciliae (the pink form). I think you might be right Steve, I don't remember buying pink ones but I'm sure these have come up for a few years & must have been in one of those get 100 bulbs for p&p only' offers from a magazine. They're very pretty & taller than the blue chionodoxas.

Beautiful Esther, Magnolias do look spectacular when they are large trees.
