Late summer/autumn 

2012 

All prices for single bulb 

in EURO 

Dear friends! 

When I’m writing introductory words of current catalogue, outside is very dull and dark weather. 

We will celebrate Christmas after few days but here still no frost came. In greenhouses the earliest of 

spring bulbs started blooming - some crocuses, some of reticulata irises and even few Juno and Corydalis 

are blooming. They are the earliest records for some in my gardening history. I finished plantings in 

optimal time this year. All bulbs perfectly rooted - that is most important for successful wintering and 

I hope that even latecomers will overwinter successfully. 

Writing of catalogue as usually was one of the most difficult tasks. My preliminary list again for 200 

items exceeded my capacity of bulb shed and weight limit of catalogue. So I was forced to short my 

list for 25(!) percents.You will not find many plants of last year list in this current offer, but as usually 

several exceptional rarities are between newcomers. The total size remained same - shortly less than 

600 items. 

I’m planning many travels next season to look for some new bulbs and if everything will be realised 

- there will be seven trips to mountains - each from 5 to 20 days long. Of course - my main target still 

remains crocuses, but I will look for nice Fritillaries, Alliums etc. too. 

I again must apologize to those who paid for orders but I couldn’t trace payments on bank statements. 

In last years Ulster Bank quite often didn’t list the name of payer on statement. My computer’s 

business program registers orders only in Euro and all counting in Pounds Sterling or USD I’m doing 

manually. Everyday fluctuations of exchange rate and occasional bank charges makes almost impossible 

to trace who paid money in if there are no name and/or order number attached. For this reason 

I would be very pleased if you will inform me about the date and exact sum which you paid for your 

order. This will make my job a little easier. Many thanks. 

I wish you all the best in new gardening year, much sun, rain only when it is needed and good 

blooming of your treasures! 

OPEN DOOR DAYS 

This spring I can offer Open door day 28-th of April. Then you can visit nursery and to see greatest

COVER PICTURE 

1. Iris (juno) species nova 

The first bulb of this incredible beauty I got from Dr. Arnis Seisums long ago under 

name of Iris nusairiensis from SE Turkey, Malatya province. Although it something 

resembles Syrian blue nusairiensis and grow in similar habitat, it forms up to three 

very large creamy flowers with large, round rich egg-yolk yellow patch on its falls. 

Later I visited its locality at blooming time and again in summer when I collected its 

seeds. The population turned very uniform in colour, more robust than I. nusairiensis 

and after discussion with other Juno specialists we came to conclusion that it really is 

new Iris species something intermediate between Iris nusairiensis and I. aucheri which 

will be described under its own name in coming monograph of Arnis and Tony Hall. 

Very limited stock, still almost unknown in collections but up to now far better grower 

in cultivation than others dwarf Turkish Juno species. Still known only from its type 

locality, so extremely rare in nature, too. Offered plants are grown in nursery from 

second generation seeds. 

EURASIAN ALLIUMS 

NEW 

80.00 

2. Allium akaka 

Very variable in flower colour Turkish relative of A. karataviense with very dense 

flower-head between two wide, quite often longitudinally ribbed leaves. It is dwarf 

species with large flowerhead, but only 15 cm in height. 10.00 

3. Allium alexejanum 

Flowers greenish white with purple midrib in nice umbel on very short stem. Leaf one, 

elliptic. Earlier under this name the closely related A. nevskianum was offered, which 

differs in general appearance and purple flowers. Extremely rare. Stock comes from 

Astara Soru in Uzbekistan. 15.00 

4. Allium barsczewskyi 9854 Aman Kutan 

This bright scarlet red form of comparatively compact habitus we found on small 

meadow between the old granite rocks on Aman-Kutan mountain pass where its flowers 

looked as scarlet red carpet. Keeps its compact habitus in cultivation, too and flowers 

very abundantly. (ARJA-9854). 8.00 

5. Allium caesium ‘AQUAMARINE’ (sin. ‘Pskems Beauty’) 

A relative of A. caeruleum but much smaller version – only 30-40 cm high and with tubular 

leaves. Umbels more lax than in other forms, flowers are very light blue slightly 

greenish tinted with darker midvein, resembling summer sky shaded with light white 

clouds. Good drainage is necessary. 5.00

6. Allium caesium ‘ZAAMIN’ 

More traditionally coloured much darker form of this beautiful species with bright 

blue flowers and even darker midvein. From Zaamin, Turkestan mountain range. In 

other aspects very similar to the light form. 5.00 

7. Allium candolleanum 

It is nice species from Turkey (LST-301) with pure white flowers on 30-40 cm tall NEW 

stems. Flowers has wide petals and due short pedicels forms very compact umbels of 

refined beauty. 

8.00 

8. Allium cardiostemon Purple Gem 

This species traditionally has blackish-purple flowers in dense umbel and it flowers 

later than most of medium tall growing alliums. Offered is a very nice form, with small 

very dark, round flower-head on shorter (40 cm) stem. Collected near Of, in Turkey. 

Different from traditionally grown forms. 8.00 

9. Allium chloranthum 

Superficially similar to A. flavum but umbel is denser and flowers are greenish-yellow 

on 40 cm tall stem. Collected near Syrian border in S Anatolia, Nice for rock garden 

where it flowers when most of alpines are over, i.e. in midsummer. Not a difficult plant 

if good drainage is ensured. 5.00 

10. Allium colchicifolium 

Beautiful allium from NE Turkey with large semispeherical umbel of wide petalled 

white flowers with black ovaries in centre on ~30 cm tall stem between two wide 

leaves. Very impressive species. 15.00 

11. Allium cupuliferum 

Flowers large, narrowly cup-shaped, facing upwards, purplish. In the beginning umbel 

is dense, later becomes lax due to the elongation of pedicels, which grow to different 

length. One of the most attractive alliums. Height 50 cm. Hissar mnt. range, Tajikistan. 

10.00 

12. Allium darwasicum ‘DARWAS WONDER’ (yellow form) 

Very distinctive intense greenish-yellow flowered form (one of the few yellow alliums 

with a true bulb). From Darvas mountains in Tajikistan. Nursed over many years until 

I was able to let it go to wider bulb enthusiast circles. 10.00 

13. Allium elburzense 

Beautiful dwarf Allium species from Iran (Elburz mountains - SLIZE-011) with big, NEW 

rounded umbel of large wide open star-like lilac violet flowers formed by narrow 

pointed petals on 10-15 cm tall stem between two broad elliptic leaves. Unfortunately 

under this name quite often another allium is offered. Our plants are identical with 

description in Flora Iranica. 

20.00 

14. Allium flavum var. minus 

An excellent and free-flowering seed raised stock better in all aspects than the ‘normal’ 

form of the species. Merits include dwarf growths, rich colouring and great variability 

in colour from bright yellow to lilac, including occasional reddish and even whitish 

toned plants. Good outside in the garden in a sunny, well-drained site, where it is tolerant 

but excellent in pots, too. 5.00 

15. Allium gypsaceum 

Unique, nothing to compare with in allium world! The dense flower umbels on c. 20 

cm tall stalks are produced in early summer. They are packed of comparatively big, 

narrowly cup-shaped straw colour flowers, prominently veined bright purple both on 

mid-veins and margin of segments. Exquisite. From arid, serpentine mountains in S 

Uzbekistan. 25.00 

4

16. Allium haemanthoides 

Another member of my so named A. karataviense allies from Kuh-e-Pashmanu in Iran 

(SLIZE 98-216) with longer and narrower perianth tepals than in other superficially 

similar species in large globular umbel between 2 -3 leaves and on something longer 

scape. Flowers pale purplish toned. 15.00 

17. Allium heldreichii 

Very large cup-shaped pink flowers in dense umbel make it distinctive and attractive. 

The offered form is only 30 cm in height. Its origin is from Mt. Olimpos in Greece. 

Easy grower. 5.00 

18. Allium hirtovaginum 

Only 10-20 cm tall allium abundantly blooming with campanullate purplish coloured 

flowers on nicely arched pedicels. Summer bloomer, excellent for pots and rockeries. 

Collected near Milosh, E of Bodrum in Turkey. 12.00 

19. Allium isakulii subsp. nuratense 

We found this beauty in one small gorge in Nura-tau mountains where it grew on vernally 

wet rocks and surprised by its large but loose flowerheads with large lilac flowers 

held on long pedicels. The first idea was that it is new species, but later I found that just 

this one was named by R. Fritsch. 30.00 

20. Allium karataviense subsp. henrikii 

This form markedly differs from existing stocks in having bright reddish-purple flowers 

in large umbel up to 20 cm in diameter on 20 - 30 (!) cm long stem which brings 

the flower-head well over the leaves. True gem named by me in honour of my friend 

Henrik Zetterlund. From Tovaksai, Karzhantau mnt. range E of Tashkent. 10.00 

21. Allium karataviense ‘RED GIANT’ 

Flowers deep reddish purple in very large dense umbel on short stem - it is one of the 

most magnificent forms of A. karataviense collected by Dr. Arnis Seisums on Kurama 

ridge, Uzbekistan. Can reach gigantic size. 15.00 

22. Allium kharputense 

Excellent Turkish Allium species which we collected on limestone rocks in Akdag 

where it was much shorter than in cultivation. It makes up to 40 cm tall stem with large 

(up to 8 cm in diameter) dense white flowerhead well contrasting with blackish green 

ovary. Anthers creamy yellow. 10.00 

23. Allium litwinovii 

Flowers unusually bright blue, violet veined in tight umbels held on 40 cm tall stems. 

An excellent contender to widely known A. caeruleum with its brusque colour, as well 

as delicate overall appearance. From Sari-Chilek. 10.00 

24. Allium minutiflorum 

One more member of my so named A. karataviense allies from Hunsan in Iran (SLIZE- 

095) with denser globular inflorescences due much shorter pedicels of individual 

florets between 2 leaves and with distinctly reddish purple coloured filaments. 20.00 

25. Allium myrianthum 

One of my real favourites between Turkish Alliums which you can’t to misidentify for 

its very small individual florets (~2mm) which are arranged in large very dense flowerhead 

of amazing appearance, resembling small pussy-cat. Height can vary from 30- 

150 cm but my stock from roadside N of Antalya is of medium size – 50-70 cm tall. 14.00 

26. Allium x nevsar 

Between my seedlings of A. nevskianum in 1997 suddenly appeared nice plant of the 

same colour but with flower-head held on 40 cm long stem. Examination of flower 

clearly showed presence of A. sarawschanicum blood in it. Real wonder. 10.00 

5

27. Allium nevskianum 

Very beautiful species with a large umbel of reddish-purple flowers on a short stem 

between two wide bluish green leaves, somewhat resembling A. karataviense, but 

much more spectacular and better grower here outside. Collected on stone slip near 

Chinoro, Varsob gorge, Tajikistan (RK-8139). 7.00 

28. Allium oreophilum ‘AGALIK’S GIANT’ 

This very beautiful, early flowering form has large dense umbel of magnolia-purple 

flowers on 40 cm stem, useful even for cut flowers. From Agalik, Seravschan mnt. 

range. Identical with some offered under name ‘Torch’. 5.00 

29. Allium oreophilum ‘KUSAVLI CURL’ 

One of the most beautiful forms of this species, in which very dwarf habit is in combination 

with unusually twisted leaves. Marvellous show-winner in pots and beautiful 

for rockery, here easy in open garden as well. 

10.00 

30. Allium oreophilum ‘SULEV’S DWARF’ 

It is the best of A. oreophilum varieties for growing in pots as is exceptionally dwarf, 

bearing darkest reddish purple dense umbel of large flowers on only 5 cm long stem, 

between 2 narrow leaves. Excellent selection made by my Estonian friend Sulev 

Savisaar. 

15.00 

31. Allium orientale 

Very widespread and variable allium. This form was collected in Turkey, N of Akseki 

and it has large white flowers composed in almost spherical dense umbel. Ovary in my 

plants is dark green. 8.00 

32. Allium protensum 

Close relative to well-known A. schubertii, differs in more compact habit and is fully 

hardy in comparison with its ally. Height 30 - 40 cm. From S slopes of Sarimar mnt. 

(W end of SW Ghisar), South Uzbekistan. 10.00 

33. Allium “pseudowinklerianum” 

Flowers large, narrowly cup-shaped, purplish violet on 40 - 50 cm stem. Similar to 

A. cupuliferum, but umbel is more compact, different shape of leaves. Fergana mnt. 

range. By R. Fritsch it really is neither A. winklerianum nor pseudowinklerianum. Most 

likely new species but in any case - very nice. 

10.00 

34. Allium robustum 

Flowers deep purple in dense umbel on 50-70 cm stems, one of the earliest and very 

long lasting. From Tar-Bagatai mnt. range, Kazakhstan. 7.00 

35. Allium sarawschanicum 

Large airy umbels of violet flowers on 80 cm stem. The centre of flower umbel (pedicels) 

light green or purple. Very well growing, beautiful form from Agalik valley near 

Samarkand, Seravschan mnt. range, Uzbekistan. 

4.00 

36. Allium scabriflorum 

One of the gems of my collection which up to identifying I nicknamed “Little Bluehead 

Beauty”. Late summer flowering allium with small, dense light sky-blue flowerheads 

on 40-50 cm tall stems. One of the last flowering species in my collection. I 

know no one similar to it. 15.00 

37. Allium schoenoprasoides 

By flower head it resembles A. schoenoprasum (for that its name) but stem is taller, 

flowers very light bluish, almost white. Makes beautiful bright green bulbs. From very 

high altitudes in Kugart, tolerates summer moisture. 12.00 

38. Allium sivasicum 

Beautiful dwarf allium (only 15 cm tall) with umbrel-like inflorescence as in A. flavum NEW 

but composed from mauvish-purple overlaid with a bloom flowers on pedicels of 

different length (LST-156). 

10.00

39. Allium sosnowskianum 

It is almost impossible to misidentify it. Individual flowers are small, slightly greenish 

white with thin blue midrib composed in spherical dense umbel. Stem is side growing 

bringing the flowers in some distance from bulb. 20.00 

40. Allium sphaerocephalon arvense 

This subspecies by my opinion is even prettiest than type form. Its dense flowerheads 

seem bicolour - central closed florets are white with green midrib and exerted purple 

anthers, lower florets surrounding flowerhead are deeper purple toned especially at top, 

giving very beautiful combination. Originally collected between Korkuteli and Fethiye 

in Turkey. Flowers much later, with rounder flower head than in other forms. 10.00 

41. Allium x stipineva 

This Allium appeared between seedlings of A. nevskianum in garden of E. Dambrauskas. 

Regardless of name, R. Fritsch found that other parent is A. sarawschanicum. It 

combines best features of both parents - large dense light purple flowerheads on 50-60 

cm tall stem, it well keeps leaves during flowering time. Very different from my A. x 

nevsar. 15.00 

42. Allium subhirsutum 

Very nice Turkish species from Baba-Dag mountains with large, pure white flowers in 

lax, spreading umbel up to 10 cm in diameter. Very nice, delicate species of unusual 

shape. 4.00 

43. Allium suworowii 

Flowers pinkish lilac in dense semiglobose to globose umbels on 70 - 80 cm long stem, 

leaves narrow. Need sunny, well drained place. From Sina, SE Uzbekistan (ARJA- 

9828). Great rarity available only from me. 10.00 

44. Allium tauricola 

Another nice species for rock garden. Flowers cup shaped, with acuminate segments, 

dull purple, edged white. We offer a tall growing form from NE Turkey. Height 30 cm. 

Flowers at the end of June - July. Showy and easy to grow. 8.00 

45. Allium tchihatschewii 

Excellent, dwarf mid-summer blooming allium with bright purple pendulous florets 

on long violet shaded pedicels composed in loose inflorescence on 15-22 cm long 

stem. Excellent pot plant for exhibition. From NE Turkey, S of Kusedagi gec. near 

Gumushane. 12.00 

46. Allium woronowii 

This beautiful early summer flowering species seem to be more widely distributed in 

Turkey than mentioned in Flora of Turkey. This stock is collected near Ulupinsk, East 

of Bozkir and has very nice, large star shaped, light violet flowers. 8.00 

AMERICAN ALLIUMS 

47. Allium acuminatum 

An outstanding small onion which grow on volcanic plains and foothills of the American 

West in May and June. There are S-facing slopes coloured rose-violet in late 

spring. The 5-7 cm heads are on 10-15 cm stems with the tepals gracefully curling 

outward as they are tapering to sharp points. Rocky clay soils on grassy slopes. 5.00 

48. Allium acutiflorum 

Large pink flowers in dense umbel on 40-cm high stem. Beautiful species of slender 

stature from S. France. Nice for rock garden where it flowers in early summer when 

most of alpines have finished. Definitely worth wider cultivation. 5.00 

7

49. Allium amplectens 

Numerous white flowers, pink suffused on mid-vein, in dense head on 30 cm tall stem. 

Early summer. One of the easiest of N American species. A stock originates from 

Walker Ridge, N Coast Range in California. 5.00 

50. Allium anceps 

Large umbels of whitish to pale pink greenish-veined perianths are presented on 15-20 

cm scapes, with two leaves twisting around their base. The combination of nice tepals 

and exerted stamens produce attractive pincushioned-shaped heads. A noticeable carnation 

fragrance. 10.00 

51. Allium bisceptrum 

This beautiful American allium species is similar to A. campanullatum but with flowers 

not spreading flat. Numerous narrow tepalled reddish, up-turned blossoms are arranged 

in open 2.5 - 5 cm heads on 15 - 22 cm scapes. From Mahogany Mnts. in 

Oregon where it grow at 1800 m altitude. Even dry flowers keep their nice purple 

colouring. 10.00 

52. Allium campanulatum 

This is one of the brightest purple forms of this variable species. Our stock is grown 

from seeds collected at Northern Sierra Nevada Range in California at 1100-1200 m 

where it grows at very exposed conditions. In nature almost stemless, here nice heads 

are on stem not higher than 15 cm. 10.00 

53. Allium crenulatum 

Pleasing small American allium with two flattened falcate leaves. Flowers are broad 

petalled light pink with deeper pink midrib. Gravely soil to ensure good drainage and 

sunny spot is what this beauty needs. Charming and not difficult. From Olympic mnt., 

Clallam Co. Washington, at 2000 m. 5.00 

54. Allium crispum 

This dwarf Californian allium has flowers of exceptional beauty which each deserves 

to be admired at close-up. They are deep pink, comparatively big, widely cup-shaped 

with long and pointed segments. Some 5-10 of them are held in an umbel on a top of 

10-15 cm tall, thin stem. Ensure good drainage! 8.00 

55. Allium diabloense 

The narrow white tepals with dark rose midveins are held erect creating a narrowly 

vase-shaped flower. These are in a few-flowered, but dense open umbel on 5 - 10 cm 

long scapes. Member of the A. fimbriatum complex. 10.00 

56. Allium douglasii subsp. douglasii 

A robust allium from Blue Mtns. in Oregon with an untold number of rich pink, vaseshaped 

flowers in congested, 5-7 cm heads on 25 cm scapes. The narrow tepals and 

exerted anthers are responsible for the bristly appearance of the inflorescence. The 

large, erect, sickle-shaped leaves contribute to the impressive display of flower and 

foliage. From vernally wet slopes. 10.00 

57. Allium douglasii subsp. nevii 

It is diminutive cousin of type subsp. douglasii with star shaped very light pink lavender 

(almost white) flowers in dense 5-cm umbels on 15 cm stems. Grows on bare, 

vernally wet, well drained gravely clay soils. 15.00 

58. Allium falcifolium 

Very distinctive little allium from S Oregon and California with deep rose urn shaped 

flowers in rather crowded umbel and two flattened sickle-shaped leaves. Very attractive 

pot plant and surprisingly hardy here. 2.00

59. Allium fimbriatum subsp. fimbriatum 

Spherical heads of up to 24, urn-shaped, bright purple with whitish centre perianths 

on 5 - 10 cm long scapes are scattered over the surface of the gravely alluvial soils 

accompanied with desert scrub. The perianth tips are strongly reflexed and the cylindrical 

leaf twists and curls around the base of the scape. From San Jacinto Mtns. in 

California (NWS 03-37). 10.00 

60. Allium fimbriatum subsp. purdyi 

This subspecies has more open, 7 - 8 cm umbels with 36 - 48 flowers on 10 -15 cm 

long scapes. The perianths are slightly shorter and more bell-shaped than in subsp. 

fimbriatum. Colour is pale rose to lavender with darker midveins. Leaves tubular. 

From crumbly, flaky serpentine clay slopes in blue oak and grey pine woodlands of 

the Inner Coast Ranges in California. 10.00 

61. Allium geyeri var. chatterleyii 

Differs from the typical A. geyeri by the length and layers of its fibrous bulb coats. 

The bright rose flowers are in open umbels on 25-30 cm scapes. Flowers in mid-summer 

and is one of the easiest American alliums under general garden conditions. Very 

tolerant to moist and dry growing conditions 10.00 

62. Allium howellii var. clokeyi 

Excellent American species with many-flowered dense umbels of white large flowers 

with exerted stamens on stout 30 cm tall stems. From W Transverse Ranges where it 

grows at 1600 m on bare slopes in a very fine silty soil. 6.00 

63. Allium hyalinum 

Loose umbels of white to pale pink flowers on 15-25 cm stems. From sandy granite 

soils in Sierra Nevadas, in places where is wet in spring. Very adaptable, multiplies 

rapidly in garden. 5.00 

64. Allium lacunosum var. lacunosum 

A small charming allium growing in small colonies with 2 wiry leaves curling around 

and above the flowers. Moist through the winter and spring, drying by early summer. 

The pedicels are very short creating a crowded umbel of campanulate perianths with 

spreading to recurved tips. The tepals are glistening white with a translucent of green 

midvein aging dark violet. 8.00 

65. Allium lemmonii 

Californian species similar to A. anceps and A. platycaule. The most obvious difference 

is the habitat - vernally moist, rocky clay flats. Petals are broader and flowers composed 

in 5 cm umbels on 10 cm scapes. Their colour ranges from palest pink to pale violet, 

with rose-pink dominating. Unlike its relatives heads do not break off in order to 

disperse the seed. 10.00 

66. Allium monticola 

The dense umbels of rich violet, urn-shaped flowers bear some resemblance to A. 

falcifolium with tapered but not strongly recurved tips. The solitary, cylindrical glaucous 

leaf curls from underneath the very short-stemmed umbel. From high altitudes on San 

Gabriel Mtns. in California, USA. 12.00 

67. Allium parvum 

Dwarf “tumbleweed” allium from Blue Mountains in Oregon with lavender perianths NEW 

in 3-5 cm large, compact umbels of pinkish flowers on short scapes. The perianths are 

accompanied by prostrate, narrow, sickle-shaped leaves. Very few! 

15.00 

68. Allium platycaule 

One of the most beautiful American alliums. Showy heads of big narrowly cup-shaped 

purplish-red flowers in rather dense globose (up to 8 cm diam.) umbels on stalks c. 10 

cm long. Leaves are flat, sickle like. 5.00

69. Allium sanbornii var. congdonii 

Comparatively tall pretty plant and one of latest blooming from Californian alliums. NEW 

Usually with more than 100 whitish to light lavender pink flowers on up to 40 cm tall 

stem. The urn-shaped outer tepals have reflexed tips. Need dry summer from start of 

blooming, but not difficult. 

12.00 

70. Allium siskiyouense 

A dwarf version of A. falcifolium. The leaves are distinctly narrower. The urn-shaped 

flowers have broader tepals that have only slightly reflexed tips and are not as dramatically 

tapered. The flower colour varies from white to pale rose with a much darker mid 

vein. With age colour quickly changes to shades of rose-red to red violet often in the 

same inflorescence. 16.00 

71. Allium tolmiei var. platyphyllum 

Beautiful American allium from gravely clay flats very wet at flowering time, sun 

baked in late summer. From a pair of bold, broad, sickle-shaped leaves arises 10 cm 

scape with 7.5 cm sphere of pink, vase-shaped flowers. 8.00 

72. Allium tolmiei var. tolmiei 

A compact form with very delicate light soft pink coloured flowers with a darker pink 

midvein in a little smaller heads than in subsp. platyphyllum on 5 cm scapes. The pair 

of leaves is narrower and not as strongly falcate. 10.00 

73. Allium unifolium 03-61 

In cultivation this onion can multiply vigorously when kept moist through flower- NEW 

ing. The widely campanulate perianths are in pleasant shades of pink and rose. The 

pedicels are much longer than the perianths creating a small starburst inflorescence. 

Easily grown under most garden conditions. Grown from seeds collected on Santa 6.00 

Cruz Mtns. in California. 

OTHER BULBOUS PLANTS FROM AMERICA 

74. Bloomeria crocea 

15 cm large starbursts of up to 50 golden yellow flowers on 30 cm scapes. The spreading, 

strap-shaped tepals are barely fused at the base encircling the stamens. The pedicels

gravely flats at 1700m. 4.00 

78. Brodiaea purdyi 

A dwarf brodiaea from Northern Sierra Nevada in California with the flowers divided 

into short fat tubes and narrow, spreading lobes. The 3-6, lavender-blue, 2.5 cm large 

flowers are in small umbels on 15 cm scapes. 

10.00 

10

79. Dichelostemma capitatum 

Dichelostemmas are nice alternatives for the taller growing alliums. This species is the NEW 

single in genus with six anthers (others have only 3). Usually flowers are bright blue-violet 

tubular bells with flaring lobes in large crowded umbels. In my stock most specimens are 

whitish with only slight bluish tint, but as any seed-raised stock in this aspect it is variable. 

Stems up to 40 cm tall. All members of this genus are easily grown in the garden. 8.00 

80. Dichelostemma congestum 

This species from Columbia River Gorge has 2.5 cm large purple-blue tubular flowers 

with reflexed lobes in dense, up to 7 cm large cylindrical racemes, not usual globular 

heads. The tall erect stems do not need support. 8.00 

81. Muilla transmontana 

This odourless Allium relative has several white, later becoming lilac tinged bellshaped 

flowers in wide open umbel on 20 cm long scape. Plants are grown from seeds 

collected in Northern Sierra Nevada at 2000 m altitude where it grows on NE facing 

gravel slopes. Good grower here, although I still have not tried it outside 5.00 

82. Triteleia bridgesii 

A combination of distinctive characteristics makes this an elegant triteleia. Flowers are NEW 

in exquisite shades of rose-pink to red-violet with definite demarcation between the 

spreading lobes and the funnel-shaped tube. This is accentuated by the pale, crownlike, 

ring of exerted, blue-anthered stamens. Up to 40 flowers are displayed in up to 15 

cm umbels on 30-50 cm scapes. 

8.00 

83. Triteleia grandiflora howelii

Beautiful form with deep violet flowers, tips of petals – violet purple. Flower stem up 

to 40 cm long. Showy garden plant for sunny border and for cutting 2.00 

87. Triteleia peduncularis 

Very characteristic to this species are its very long pedicels bringing violet tinted white 

flowers with purple mid-stripes on 30-40 cm tall stems, giving total impression of starburst. 

It tolerates moisture until midsummer after that it should have a dry period. My 

stock is grown from seeds collected at Barrel Springs of N Coast Ranges in California 

at 700 m. 3.00 

88. Zigadenus exaltatus 

ATTENTION! The name applied to Zigadenus by natives of North America is “death camas” 

because it is growing together with Camasia bulbs of which are edible but similarly looking 

bulbs of Zigadenus are poisonous! Be careful! 

Largest of Zigadenus, flower spikes of which in good conditions can reach even 60 

cm height, leaves larger and broader than in other species, too. Flowers creamy, very 

numerous. Less hardy than other species and I grow it only in unheated greenhouse. 10.00 

From Southern Sierra Nevada, in California.

ANEMONE 

89. Anemone blanda Akseki 

Here is offered quite variable in color plants from A. blanda population near Akseki in 

Turkey with more compact habitus and white to blue flowers, something smaller than 

in widely grown cv. ‘White Splendour’. 5.00 

90. Anemone coerulea 

Small flowers of light blue shade (not a uniform stock!). Finely dissected foliage. Easy to 

grow in conditions like those for A. nemorosa. Naturally very small rhizomes. From S Altai. 5.00 

91. Anemone jeniseejensis

bracts which really resemble a fern, very unusual but beautiful. Visitors always ask - 

4.00 

What is that? 

94. Anemone nemorosa ‘DEE DAY’ 

This variety I got from Kat Dryden who informed that it was collected in 1945 near 

pub in Armentiers. It has medium sized or even small deep blue flowers held on long 

stalk. Rarely offered but very nice variety. 3.00 

95. Anemone nemorosa ‘GREEN FINGERS’ 

One of the most unusual A. nemorosa varieties that it is very difficult to make a 

description of its flowers. Makes white flowers with petals wider than normal for the 

species each with a loose central ruff of tiny green leaves in the centre of the yellow 

anthers. Unlike any other clone and very lovely. 4.00 

96. Anemone nemorosa ‘LYCHETTE’ 

Flowers of this “white” windflower are medium sized light blue. Greatest advantage of 

this very rarely offered variety is its reddish shaded dark green foliage. 4.00 

97. Anemone nemorosa ‘MART’S BLUE’ 

My Estonian friend Mart Veerus found this beautifully flowering form with small dark 

blue flowers in forests of Estonia. Late flowering, keeps foliage very long. One of the 

best in my quite large collection. 5.00 

98. Anemone nemorosa ‘ROYAL BLUE’ 

Small, rich blue flowers over dark green foliage. Smaller than many but with a much more 

intense and attractive colouring, nicely set off by the deeper foliage. 4.00

Fully double A. ranunculoides cultivar selected by Taavi Tuulik in Estonia. It is the 

first and very serious break in enlarging of windflower assortment. All petals are of 

approximately same size, filling all centre of flower. Very few! 25.00 

101. Anemone ranunculoides ‘HIIUMAA’ 

Another fully double selection of Taavi Tuulik, but contrary to ‘Dagerort’ inner petals 

forming double flower are elegantly narrow with normally wide standard petals in 

background. Not easy decide which one is better. Very limited stock. 25.00 

12

102. Anemone ranunculoides ‘ORJAKU’ 

Taavi Tuulik in total selected almost 50 different forms of A. ranunculoides. Most of NEW 

them are just forms with differently shaped double flowers. ‘Orjaku’ flowers are fully 

double with large inner petals of nice pointed shape. Distinct and very beautiful. Very 

limited stock. 

30.00 

103. Anemone ranunculoides ‘TIIT’ 

All new A. ranunculoides double flowering varieties are still very rare and uncommon. NEW 

Those offered now turned the best increasers but still are extremely rare and of very 

limited numbers. ‘Tiit’ flowers have several inner rows of wide petals surrounding still 

some anthers in flowers centre. 

30.00

Superb, large, primrose-yellow spathes with a butter-yellow spadix, all with an unusual 

and pleasant rose scent. An excellent plant, the brightest coloured Arum and one 

of the few with a nice smell. 15.00 

111. Arum dioscoridis subsp. cyprium 

Although originates from E Mediterranean (Cyprus etc.), it is hardy here - I have been 

growing it for several years and it is a good increaser and well flower every season. Spathe 

pale green with discrete deep purple blotches throughout. Tubers something rhizomatous. 7.00 

112. Arum dioscoridis subsp. dioscoridis 

Type subspecies of this very variable Arum with 16 to 30 cm long spathe limb, basal

Boyce intolerant of summer heat but I grow it in unheated greenhouse with annual 

harvesting and keeping dry tubers quite warm. 10.00 

116. Arum hygrophyllum 

Elegant and attractive plant – it must be in every collection of aroids regardless of 

reputation as one of quite tender species. I’m growing it in unheated greenhouse but 

when real frosts start - I’m covering its bed with glasswool sheets. Frost damaged 

leaves quickly recover in spring and can achieve even 70 cm height with excellent, 

gracious greenish white narrowly purple edged spathe limb at height of foliage. Likes 

moist conditions. 8.00 

117. Arum italicum albispathum 

Flowers with long white spathe, leaves plain dark green, sometimes with few dark

Amanus Mountains in S. Turkey. It forms compact clusters of quite large, yet short-stemmed 

flowers in September with broad overlapping petals lightly chequered in pale pinkviolet 

on whitish ground colour. Anthers are yellow with greenish filaments (KPPZ-100). 12.00 

125. Colchicum falcifolium 

Regarded by Chris Brickell as separate species this nice spring blooming colchicum NEW 

with deeply falcate leaves and nice rounded light lilac flowers in late winter or early 

spring was lowered in status as synonym for several species by Karin Persson. Regardless 

of name, it is nice and worth to grow. 

15.00 

126. Colchicum hirsutum 

Dwarf colchicum which flowers in late winter or very early in spring with 2,5 cm long, 

nice mid-pink flowers with contrasting black anthers. Leaves more or less covered 

with silvery hairs. From E of Aksaray, Turkey. 8.00 

127. Colchicum laetum wild form 

I was really surprised when I found that I never before offered this nice late in autumn NEW 

blooming colchicum from N Caucasus. Under this name usually is offered much more 

robust Dutch form (polyploid or hybrid) with more than twice as large flowers and 

leaves but lacking refined beauty of wild form.

it in full sun, although it is reputed as shade lower under trees, roots of which keeps 

soil dry in summer. 3.00 

138. Corydalis kusnetzovii 

One of those species which many times have changed its name. Several years ago 

I offered it under the name C. vittae, later as C. teberdensis, but priority belongs to

earlier and usually is of lighter tint. 4.00 

169. ‘GANDALF’ 

Flowers white with narrow blue rim at the end of petals and dark “tongue” between 

them in dense racemes. Deep green, dark coloured foliage. 10.00

leaves. This form was selected in Gothenburg Botanic Garden. 10.00 

180. ’MARBLED CORAL’ 

This one is new colour type and is raised from cross between solida and paczoskii(?). 

Base colour of flowers is white but it is so intensively spotted and flushed with reddish 

pink that overall colour seems light pink. 15.00 

181. ‘MAXIMA’ 

Very large beautiful form with more traditionally shaded pinkish-lilac flowers in nice 

racemes selected by my Dutch friend Willem van Eeden. 5.00 

182. ‘MERLIN’

are in very early flowering (in comparison with other red clones with usually 

later flowering), stocky habit, and leaves rather poorly divided and big size flowers of 

bright colour. Very limited stock. 10.00 

195. ‘RED RIDING HOOD’ 

Gorgeous crimson red flowers with the merest hint of orange which have a lovely, NEW 

well-contrasted, white central boss and white mouth. The colouring is very strong and 

is distinct from the other red and orange varieties. Foliage bluish shaded. 

15.00 

196. ‘RIVENDELL’ 

Another exclusive hybrid raised by me from “new generation” seedlings with throughout 

slightly smoky red flowers. Only tips of inner petals pure white surrounded with 

purplish-red zone. 12.00

earlier unknown in Corydalis solida. 

15.00 

20

206. ‘TOUCH OF PINK’ 

Flowers very light pink shaded almost white with darker pink mid-zone of lower and 

upper petals. 10.00 

207. ‘TRANSSYLVANICA’ (‘Sunset’ strain)

which starts to flower when ‘Transsylvanica’ are finishing. If planted alone, perfectly 

reproduces itself from seeds. 3.00 

208. ’TWILIGHT’ 

Flowers with very light bluish purple spur and narrowly white striped darker bluish 

purple lower and upper petals. 10.00 

209. ‘VERMION SNOW’

flowers; only inner petals are tinged bordo red. Large, dense spikes. 12.00 

EASTERN WOODLANDERS 

212. Corydalis bracteata 

One of the most beautiful Corydalis from Siberia with very large bright yellow flowers. 

Excellent grower. This stock has been collected in Kemerov distr. and is the most 

vigorous form in my collection. 10.00 

213. Corydalis buschii 

Very unusual species with bright purplish red flowers in early summer. Tubers rhizomatous, 

bright yellow. Easy in shade, but must be planted immediately! Can survive 

dry periods in garden but not out of soil. 2.00 

214. Corydalis fumariifolia 

Flowers very bright sky-blue flowering very early so sometimes can suffer from night 

frosts when some protection is requested but it is one of the most beautiful and additional 

care is well compensated. From Tomari, Sakhalin. 15.00 

215. Corydalis gracilis 

A close relative of C. bracteata with bigger but fewer flowers and with stoloniferous 

habit. Naturally small tubers that is very susceptible to drying out, so plant immediately. 

Collected in locus classicus near Krasnoyarsk in Siberia, Russia by Baltic 

expedition. Extremely rare! 8.00 

216. Corydalis ornata 

One of the most beautiful species from Far East. Flowers generally bright blue, sometimes 

with lilac tint, occasionally white, leaves shallowly divided in rounded segments. 

I mostly like just this mix of colours resembling foam and waves of stormy sea. 6.00 

217. Corydalis subremota 

A species of unclear taxonomically position, considered by Russian botanists as C. 

subremota but regarded by M. Liden and H. Zetterlund as a subsp. of C. solida complex. 

Flowers bluish-violet, finely divided foliage. 4.00 

218. Corydalis turtschaninovii ‘ASHWOOD BEAUTY’ 

This form was collected near vil. Jasenevoje (“Ash-tree Forest village”) in Far East. 

By everything it resembles typical C. turtschaninovii but it never formed stem tubers 

so usual for this species. It is very uniform stock with bright blue flowers. 8.00 

21

219. Corydalis turtschaninovii ‘ERIC THE RED’ 

Selection with clear bright blue flowers and dark purple upper half of leaf segments, 

which suddenly appeared among my seedlings. Unique among spring flowering bulbous 

Corydalis and always in very great demand. 8.00 

220. Corydalis turtschaninovii ‘USSURI DAWN’ 

Very unusually coloured selection from this species where very distinct violet colour 

of flowers is combined with narrow and long leaf lobes. Flowers very abundantly and 

is very distinct. Collected in Udmurtia. 8.00 

221. Corydalis turtschaninovii ‘VLADIVOSTOK’ 

Very unusual form with bright sky blue flowers in large spikes, but most unusual is 

its foliage - it is almost undivided, spade like, only shallowly dentate at the top of the 

lobes. Approximately 20 cm high. 8.00 

THE ‘BULB-BELT’ SPECIES 

222. Corydalis glaucescens 

One of the best and brightest coloured forms of this species with distinctly pinkish 

flowers and one of the best increasers. Collected near high mountain skating-rink 

Medeo in Kazakhstan during my first mountain trip. 7.00 

223. Corydalis maracandica 

This species is something similar to C. ledebouriana but with more compact general 

appearance and it flowers much later with pale creamy-yellow, a bit pinkish suffused 

flowers with short spur. 15.00 

224. Corydalis nudicaulis 

Flowers of so original combination of white and brown that nicknamed as “coffee and 

cream corydalis”. Somehow variable stock because grown from seeds collected in my 

garden, where stocks of various origins can hybridize. 12.00 

225. Corydalis ruksansii 

I discovered this beautiful species in upper reaches of the river Shing, Tajikistan. 

Flowers white with blue stripe in dense spikes, one of the most floriferous. Initially 

was misidentified as C. glaucescens. Renamed by Magnus Liden from Gothenburg 

Botanical Garden, Sweden. 10.00 

226. Corydalis schanginii subsp. schanginii 

Flowers very large, white with long pink spur and purple nose, excellent grower in a 

sunny place. Collected during my first expedition to Central Asia in 1975 in Kirghizia 

near Bishkek at 1800-2000 m on gritty slope. 7.00 

227. Corydalis schanginii subsp. ainae 

Flowers yellow with pink spur and purple nose, one of the most beautiful and rarest 

corydalis discovered by me in Ber-Kara (Black Stream) gorge, Kara-tau mnt. range at 

1700-2000m. Easy growing. By Henrik Zetterlund: “a plant you can never forget it if 

you ever get a chance to see it” 10.00 

228. Corydalis seisumsiana 

Flowers beautiful light pink with dark reddish purple. A new name given by Magnus 

Liden from Gothenburg for what was used to call “C. persica” by botanists. From 

Nakhitschevan, S Caucasus, type collection. 15.00 

CROCUS 

AUTUMN FLOWERING SPECIES 

229. Crocus asumaniae 

White or pale violet flowers with a hazy yellow throat and long branches of vivid redorange 

styles. Easy in a bulb frame or pot, in the garden does quite well in a sunny, 

well-drained raised bed. A lovely plant, quite recently discovered in Southern Turkey 

and slowly becoming more widespread. 7.00 

22

230. Crocus autranii 

One of the rarest and mostly looked for autumn blooming crocuses still grown in 

very few collections. In nature it is found only in single gorge of rebelling Abkhazia 

in Caucasus, so no possibilities to collect additional material in wild. Flowers bright 

violet with large white base and prolonged tips of petals. Price is high but building of 

stock took more than 15 years. 60.00 

231. Crocus banaticus ’FIRST SNOW’ (w) 

There are many white selections from this lovely crocus but this one is the earliest of 

all, blooming well before more famous ‘Snowdrift’. It is single white form of banaticus 

which can bloom here even outside. Although flowers are little bit smaller, they are 

of the same glistening white colour. 15.00 

232. Crocus banaticus ‘SNOWDRIFT’ 

One of most popular white selections from this loveliest crocus although flowers later 

than others and here it is too late for growing in garden, but it enjoy me in greenhouse 

where it abundantly blooms late in autumn. 18.00 

233. Crocus boryi 

One of the brightest white crocuses with very branched very bright orange style and 

nicely rounded large petals. I’m offering pure white forms with deep orange small 

throat which originates from Taygetos mnt. in Greece. 4.00 

234. Crocus cambessedesii 

This is the smallest flowered Crocus, a perfect miniature and ideal for pot. It is flowering 

from October and continuing throughout autumn and winter with odd blooms 

as late as February. Flowers white with dark purple stripes over buff petals outside. 

Faintly scented when kept under glass. 7.00 

235. Crocus cancellatus subsp. cancellatus 

Surprisingly, but this subspecies from SE Turkey turned the hardiest in cultivation and 

I grew it for years even in garden. The flowers generally are lilac, but can vary a little, 

with darker stripes on outside and short, dark, sometimes brownish stripes in throat. 6.00 

236. Crocus cancellatus subsp. damascenus 

This subspecies has lighter or darker lilac flowers with indistinct lighter or darker 

striped throat. My plants come from seedlings originally collected in East Turkey and 

are more vigorous and better growers than usually offered forms from Jordan. Corms 

have a remarkably coarsely netted tunic. 10.00 

237. Crocus cancellatus subsp. mazziaricus 

One of the most variable and beautiful in colour subsp. of C. cancellatus. Colour vary 

from whitish to violet variously striped on back and with throat from white to purple, 

in best forms with purple stripes and with orange to deep red variously branched style. 

Easy growable forms from West Turkey. 8.00 

238. Crocus cancellatus subsp. pamphylicus 

The fourth subspecies of this variable species (subsp. lycius here is regarded as C. NEW 

lycius) with very beautiful white to light violet flowers, with bright yellow throat and 

large many-branched bright red to deep yellow stigmatic branches exerted from flower, 

but most distinct is its white anthers that allows its identification without doubt. 15.00 

239. Crocus cartwrightianus ‘MARCEL’ 

Few years ago I obtained from Antoine Hoog two superb forms of this easy growable crocus, 

selected by him from CEH-618 seedlings. Both are something similar (by size, shape, 

vigour) and different (by colour), so with agreement of Antoine I decided to name them by 

his charming sons. This one is slightly lilac shaded whitish with elegant dark lilac throat. 10.00 

240. Crocus cartwrightianus ‘MICHEL’ 

The second selection from CEH-618 seedlings with lighter coloured flowers - they are cold 

white with light greyish lilac shaded throat. Very good grower and abundantly blooming. 10.00 

23

241. Crocus goulimyi var. leucanthus 

This form of this well known species replaces more typical in south-eastern “prong” 

of the Peloponnesus (southwards from Monemwasia) in Greece and is characterized 

by whitish or very faintly lilac slightly smaller flowers. 3.00 

242. Crocus hadriaticus 

Beautiful autumn flowering crocus with large pure white flowers with yellow throat and 

bright red stigma. Our stock comes from seeds collected in prov. Ioannina in Greece. 4.00 

243. Crocus hadriaticus ‘JUMBO’ 

This cultivar was selected by A. Hoog from seedlings of C. hadriaticus MK-3585. 

This one was the specimen with the largest white flowers and comparatively large 

straw yellow throat. 4.00 

244. Crocus hadriaticus x ‘PURPLE HEART’ 

This is another seedling raised by Antoine Hoog and it undoubtedly is of hybrid origin, 

most possibly with C. cartwrightianus. Its flowers are very light violet with distinct 

deep purple throat. It is a gorgeous new introduction of great merit, although blooming 

something late, so better growable in pots. 10.00 

245. Crocus kotschyanus subsp. cappadocicus 

Quite variable subspecies with whitish base colour densely striped purple, sometimes 

confluent at tips with very prominent deep yellow spots at base of flower segments. Very 

beautiful. Corms positioned in soil vertically. Not difficult and growable even outside. 10.00 

246. Crocus kotschyanus subsp. kotschyanus HKEP-9201 

Very beautiful autumn flowering crocus, which has a bad reputation with commercial 

Dutch growers who widely distributed excellently growing, but almost never flowering 

clone. This one blooms abundantly and has strong, clustered flowers of light violet with 

slightly darker veins and distinct two bright yellow spots at the base of each tepal. 4.00 

247. Crocus kotschyanus subsp. kotschyanus HKEP-9317 

This one comes from 1300 m altitude and is totally different by its stoloniferous habit 

and usually makes smaller corms than other forms. Flowers are light violet with darker 

stripes and creamy yellow throat edged by narrow dark yellow „v” shaped edge 4.00 

248. Crocus laevigatus 

Generally with a white background colour, but it can be lilac, too. Flower exterior with 

varying degrees of thin, purple feathering, the whole beautifully contrasted with a frilly 

mass of expanded style lobes. Anthers pure white. It is flowering from late autumn and 

continues in winter. 8.00 

249. Crocus longiflorus 

The flowers are starry, strong violet-purple with a lovely fragrance and small deep 

orange throat in centre surrounded by whitish diffused zone. Throat colour is quite 

variable. Its fragrance fills all greenhouse and I list it between the best autumn blooming 

crocuses 8.00 

250. Crocus lycius 

If I would write my Crocus book now, I would describe this beautiful crocus as separate 

species, not as subsp. of C. cancellatus so distinct it is. Flowers pure white with 

contrasting deep yellow throat with addition of deep orange-red finely divided red 

style filling the centre of flower as sparkling flame. 8.00 

251. Crocus mathewii 

It is one of last time most desirable newcomer with mostly glistening white flowers and 

large methylene-violet throat, red, entire stigma branches and yellow anthers. There is 

variation in the violet, in shape of petals and sometimes flower segments are light violet. 

This stock was originally received from its discoverer E. Pasche and carefully increased 

by seeds in my nursery. It well grows in pots but must be kept cooler in summer. 15.00 

24

252. Crocus melantherus 

Autumn blooming member of large C. biflorus group from Greece earlier wrongly 

named as „C. crewei”. Flowers are white marked with small, deeply coloured, almost 

black, stripes on the outside, rarely stippled grey. The anthers are with black connective, 

rarely entire black, but sometimes yellow. Very distinct and attractive plant with 

nicely honey-scent. 

25 

10.00 

253. Crocus niveus WHITE form 

Regardless of its name, more often on trade are offered forms with slightly bluish 

flowers. This stock has strong pure white flowers with a golden yellow throat flowering 

in October. One of the best white autumn crocuses. 4.00 

254. Crocus niveus BLUE form 

On South Peloponnesus (Greece) between white flowering plants grow some with 

lovely light blue lilac flowers, retaining all superb features of C. niveus – golden throat 

and large size of blooms. 3.00 

255. Crocus nudiflorus 

Large, vivid and richly coloured deep-violet flowers on long tubes opens from September. 

Needs a damp, humus rich soil to do well, and does not need a hot dry rest in 

summer! It is making stolones and could naturalise in short managed grass where it 

slowly spreads. Can be grown outside here. 5.00 

256. Crocus pallasii subsp. pallasii 

Flowers mostly lilac of various shades, rarely white, throat usually whitish with deep 

purple stripes. Stigma trilobed, deep red at level of anthers. Flower segments in Crimean 

forms are generally wider than in Turkish. 10.00 

257. Crocus pulchellus Chios 

Those are wild forms of this beautiful, mid-autumn blooming very hardy crocus with NEW 

nice rounded, lilac blue flowers with bright yellow throat and white anthers. Petals 

with few darker stripes (veins). From Chios Island (Greece) near Turkish coast. 5.00 

258. Crocus pulchellus ‘MICHAEL HOOG’ 

Famous bulb specialist Michael Hoog found one very large flowering plant between NEW 

ordinary stock of C. pulchellus albus. “This is the most large, pure white form of this 

crocus I have ever seen” – he told me presenting few corms of it. Now it brings his 

name. Very vigorous grower, too. 

8.00 

259. Crocus robertianus 

Supposed to be autumn flowering mutation of C. atticus, it retained large size of lilac NEW 

to white flowers and in most cases has large dark yellow throat, sometimes it is pale, in 

other cases surrounded white as in famous spring cv. ‘Tricolour’. A native of the high 

Pindus Mountains of Greece. 

8.00 

260. Crocus scharojanii subsp. scharojanii 

One of the most unusual and most difficult in cultivation crocus blooming late summer NEW 

(here in July or August) with brightest yellow flowers which need moist soil throughout 

the year. It never is without roots, so will be shipped at best replanting time most 

likely separately from other ordered plants. This is something easier in cultivation type 

subsp. from N Caucasus. Very, very few available. Don’t delay with ordering! 100.00 

261. Crocus scharojanii var. flavus 

This hybrid with C. vallicola is something easier in cultivation than pure C. scharojanii. 

Blossoms are not so bright orange, but it is the single one autumn blooming crocus with 

beautifully lemon yellow toned flowers. It don’t like drying out in summer, so regular 

watering is requested and better to grow it in pots plunged during summer in garden. 70.00 

262. Crocus serotinus subsp. salzmannii 

Large, soft violet flowers from September onwards. An excellent form of this variable 

species from Marocco with short leaves at flowering time. Good easily grown crocus, 

but here I can grow it only under winter protection. 5.00

263. Crocus speciosus ‘ALBUS’ 

In general I’m not growing common Dutch raised cultivars but this one is one of rare 

exceptions for its very large purest white flowers with creamy yellow throat. Albinos 

in this species are extremely rare in wild. 2.00 

264. Crocus speciosus ‘ARTABIR’ 

Another “oldie” but with the largest flowers between autumn blooming crocuses. 

From outside flushed bright lilac, inside with darker but not very prominent striping 

with pure white throat. One of very few still kept in my collection just for its special 

appearance, large size and good growing. 2.00 

265. Crocus x speciosus ‘FANTASY’ (subsp. ilgazensis x pulchellus) 

This exceptional hybrid was selected in my nursery from seedlings of subsp. ilgazensis NEW 

and it something resembles C. pulchellus by colour (white anthers, deep yellow throat) 

but flowers are larger with pointed petals and deep veining as in C. speciosus. Anthers 

well overtop slightly branched stigma. Real beauty and good grower. 

15.00 

266. Crocus suworovianus 

It is one of the first crocuses starting flowering after the summer rest. Similar to C. 

vallicola but without prominent wispy tips of perianth segments. Usually more or less 

lilac striped, sometimes even lilac. Corm is lying on its side and needs dryer growing 

conditions. From NE Turkey. 10.00 

267. Crocus vallicola (w) 

Excellent early autumn flowering crocus with large creamy white flowers, segments 

have peculiar acuminate tips. Prefers peaty soil and don’t like drying out in summer. 

From Artvin, NE Turkey. 20.00 

268. Crocus wattiorum 

Quite recently described autumn blooming member of C. biflorus group with very nice 

lilac flowers which widely opens exposing beautiful black anthers with yellow basal 

lobes and dark red stigmatic branches resembling those of C. sativus. Very unusual of 

exceptional beauty. Still very rare! Very few! 40.00 

SPRING FLOWERING SPECIES 

269. Crocus abantensis 

Flowers of very beautiful light bright blue shade with very contrasting bright yellow 

base. Initially collected at 1700 m near Lake Abant, NW Turkey. Very beautiful and 

not difficult in the garden. 6.00 

270. Crocus aerius 

This one belongs to my greatest favourites between spring blooming crocuses. Flowers 

bright blue with dark yellow inner base surrounded by radial white rays. Exceptional 

beauty from high mountains of NE Turkey. Very limited stock. 30.00 

271. Crocus alatavicus 

White flowers uniquely patterned with speckles and dots of silver to ash-grey on the 

exterior. Inside the shining white contrasts with a bright yellow throat. Requires a well 

drained soil in full sun, where flowers widely open with first sunbeams. Not very easy 

and quite rarely offered. 15.00 

272. Crocus albiflorus 

Flowers generally pure white, with white or blue flower tube. Very well growing 

sample raised by me from seeds collected in Bavarian Alps. 2.00 

273. Crocus ancyrensis 

Early and most free flowering species from Turkey with numerous deep orange flowers, 

far better than usually grown Dutch form of garden origin. This stock is collected near 

Bolu, Turkey at 1650 m. 4.00 

26

274. Crocus angustifolius ‘BERLIN GOLD’ 

This is a superb selection of this tough crocus, which lacks the normal dark purpleblack 

striping on the exterior. From outside it looks nicely creamy yellow but opens as 

brightest golden yellow star. Very abundantly blooming. 8.00 

275. Crocus antalyensis 

Dense clumps of nicely rounded clear lilac-blue flowers with a warm yellow centre 

and blue suffusion on outside base and beautiful scent of honey. Something tender 

here and likes deep planting as it grows in nature on hills of S Turkey. Very variable in 

colour. One of my favourites. Very few. 10.00 

276. Crocus atticus x ‘BOWLES’ WHITE’ 

One of the best white spring flowering crocuses, with bright yellow throat and orange 

stigma, making a wonderful contrast. Large rounded blooms. 2.00 

277. Crocus atticus subsp. sublimis ‘MICHAEL HOOG’S MEMORY’ 

Very unusual form of C. atticus accidentally collected in Greece at type locality of 

C. robertianus and sold to me under that name. But it was flowering in spring with 

silvery-lilac nicely striped outside, rounded flowers with golden-yellow throat and 

showed good increasing rate. I decided to name it in honour of my great friend, from 

whom I received this treasure. 4.00 

278. Crocus atticus subsp. sublimis Mnt. Parnassos form 

Selection of this beautiful species from Mount Parnassus in Greece with lighter flowers 

where lilac colouring on petals outside is more speckled. Throat is paler toned, 

something greenish shaded. Most spectacular is its very broadly expanded and long 

bright orange stigma. 5.00 

279. Crocus baytopiorum 

A most exciting species with pale but brilliant turquoise blue flowers with delicate 

slightly darker veins. I don’t know other crocus species with similar colour. Rare in 

cultivation but not very difficult, can be grown outside even here but pots you must 

bring outside in summer. Very limited stock. 20.00 

280. Crocus biflorus subsp. adamii Armenian form 

Very beautiful large flowering, extremely variable in colour population from Armenia 

at any case far better than other forms offered under this name. It is true subsp. adamii 

with blue or violet, tinted or striped darker, large flowers. 6.00 

281. Crocus biflorus subsp. isauricus from around Akseki 

Flowers lighter or darker blue with more or less prominent black connective in anthers 

with long basal lobes over the deep greenish yellow throat. Very variable and one of 

my favourites. Hybridizes with C. chrysanthus forming most incredible colour combinations. 

Sweet honey scent. 7.00 

282. Crocus biflorus subsp. nubigena 

Flowers lighter or darker blue with very prominent black anthers with long basal lobes 

over the deep greenish yellow throat. Very limited stock. 15.00 

283. Crocus biflorus subsp. pseudonubigena 

Flowers from striped to almost pure white with a narrow purplish tongue on the outer 

base of sepals. The filaments are very short and anthers distinctly black prior to the 

dehiscence (KPPZ-108). Distinct carnation-clove scent. 20.00 

284. Crocus biflorus subsp. pulchricolor 

Flowers rich bluish-violet, somewhat darker to the base with large deep yellow zone 

in centre. Collected by Chris Brickell and Brian Mathew at prov. Bursa, Ulu-Dag, 

1800m, NW Turkey (BM-8514). 6.00 

285. Crocus biflorus subsp. stridii 

It is spring blooming crocus with black anthers from C. biflorus family growing in 

very restricted area in N. Greece. Flowers are white or pale violet with prominent dark 

stripes on flowers back and large and very dark yellow throat. Anthers variable - pure 

black or with black connective, rarely yellow. 20.00 

27

286. Crocus biflorus subsp. taurii 

Excellently growing form from N Turkey, prov. Sivas with attractive violet-blue 

flowers and yellow throat. One of the most distinctive and very lovely! Free flowering 

and very easy in cultivation form. Can be variable. 2.00 

287. Crocus biflorus subsp. weldenii 

Flowers very nice, throughout purest white, although smaller than in other forms, but 

flowers very abundantly. From former Yugoslavia. 3.00 

288. Crocus chrysanthus ‘USCHAK ORANGE’ 

One of the earliest crocuses in my collection which blooms in abundance with bright 

orange flowers. Collected in mountains near Uschak, Turkey. 2.00 

289. Crocus cvijicii 

Flowers very large brightest yellow, even with orange tint, sometimes very nicely 

creamy, sweetly scented. Still a great rarity, although not very difficult in the garden. 

Possibly better to grow without annual lifting. 10.00 

290. Crocus cyprius 

This tiny species from Cyprus belongs to one of my favourites for its large bright 

reddish-orange throat and blackish purple “tongue” over outer base of deep violet-blue 

petals. Small plant and naturally small corms. Not very hardy, so protection during 

winter spells hardly recommended. 20.00 

291. Crocus danfordiae 

Flowers very tiny, with perianth segments only up to 1,5 - 2 cm long. Flower colour 

variable - from white to pale blue or yellow something speckled outside with grey. It is 

single species where all colour forms can be found in same population. 5.00 

292. Crocus fleischeri ‘GULEK PASS’ 

During my first trip to Turkey at crocus flowering time I was very surprised for 

variability of C. fleischeri there and I found that many wild forms are far better than 

those commercially grown in Holland. This one from Gulek Pass has very deep yellow, 

even orange shaded throat. 4.00 

293. Crocus gargaricus 

One of the deepest orange shaded deep yellow spring crocuses coming from Kaz-dag 

mountains in W Turkey. Excellent grower both in garden and pot and exceptionally 

floriferous. Much less known in gardens than its relative - stoloniferous C. herbertii. 6.00 

294. Crocus herbertii 

Excellent form from Ulu-Dag mnt. range in NW Turkey with bright orange flowers and 

stoloniferous habit. If planted and left undisturbed for a few years then every spring it 

will flower in abundance and slowly increase occupying the entire spot but not a weed. 

Naturally very small corms. 5.00 

295. Crocus heuffelianus ‘ALBA’ 

It took many years to restore this stock after horrible attack of rodents. Now I have NEW 

sufficient number of this very beautiful crocus with glistening white flowers and very 

light blue mark at petals top. From Lizja pass where only 2 uniform forms are growing 

- this white one and deep purple. 

4.00 

296. Crocus heuffelianus ‘DARK EYES’ 

Very prominent selection from material collected by me on mnt. pass Uklin, E 

Carpathians. Flowers bright purple with very large, contrasting blackish-purple blotch 

at the tip of the petals. 3.00 

297. Crocus x jessopiae 

Very late blooming nice “species” of hybrid origin with tiny white flowers. Its hybrid 

status was confirmed by genetical research. Although very rarely now offered, it is 

very beautiful and good grower extending crocus season. 3.00 

28

298. Crocus kerndorfiorum 

Quite recently discovered species from Turkey. Flowers of my stock are light blue with NEW 

prominent dark blue mid-vein on back of sepals, light yellow small throat. Anthers are yellow 

with a grey-green margin. Although Crocus kerndorffiorum is still very rare in cultivation, 

the first impression is that it is not a very difficult plant to grow in pots and is more 

floriferous than in the wild. It needs rather cool but dry summer rest. Very limited stock. 30.00 

299. Crocus korolkowii 

I have many selections of this beautiful yellow flowering crocus which flowers together 

with melting of snow as one of the first here. Size of catalogue not allows this 

year to offer most of named cultivars. 2.00 

300. Crocus kosaninii 

Flowers bright lilac-blue with dark violet stripes and feathers on the exterior, throat 

yellow. Beautiful and easy in the garden although still quite rare. Received from Gothenburg 

as collected in Kosovo, former Yugoslavia. 3.00 

301. Crocus malyi 

Flowers purest white with rich yellow throat, large. The bright orange-yellow style 

branches give a magnificent contrast to the white segments. Excellent form from Croatia, 

Velebit mountains, 520m. Very easy. 2.00 

302. Crocus nevadensis 

This makes large clusters of lilac suffused or striped white and fragrant flowers early in 

the season, Feb-Mar. These are usually, milk-white but can be lilac or rarely purplish. 

All of the forms from outside are attractively marked with darker violet veins towards 

the base. The throat is whitish. 15.00 

303. Crocus olivieri subsp. olivieri 

Masses of bright deep golden yellow flowers between wide spreading leaves, 

resembling miniature C. flavus edition. Collected near Abant-Bolu. 3.00 

304. Crocus paschei 

Large silvery, soft violet-blue flowers with a small golden sometimes rimmed white NEW 

throat and yellow anthers with prominent -branched red-orange style. The exterior of the 

flowers is also slightly silvery. I still didn’t tried it outside but in pots it isn’t difficult. 10.00 

305. Crocus x paulinae 

It is crocus of incredible colour - bright brownish with lilac red shade. It was raised 

by me when I repeated in my nursery cross between C. abantensis and C. ancyrensis 

rarely occurring naturally in nature. Results surpassed all hopes. Unique and only 

very few. 60.00 

306. Crocus pelistericus 

This is one of the rarest in cultivation crocuses and belongs to one of most difficult. It 

needs wet soil conditions up to late autumn, but if you will follow this - you will be 

rewarded with large deepest purple flowers late in season. A little easier than its yellow 

neighbour - C. scardicus. Very limited stock. 25.00 

307. Crocus pestalozzae 

Flowers variable - they can be white or light pastel blue with golden yellow throat. NEW 

Blue form is more often cultivated although rare in wild and only recently was rediscovered. 

White form is rarely obtainable, although common in nature. Both are not 

difficult to grow both in pots or in garden. Blooms very early in season. 

5.00 

308. Crocus reticulatus Gulek Bog, Turkey 

Flowers large, starry, light sky blue, outside paler with dark purple stripes. This stock 

comes from place where C. reticulatus met with black anthered relative C. hittiticus 

regarded earlier as subsp. of reticulatus. Easy, but as it comes from S part of Turkey I 

never tried it outside. 8.00 

29

309. Crocus reticulatus Pjatigorsk, Russia 

This is one of the most spectacular crocuses with starry flowers opening widely as 

bright stars. Usually lilac, but the forms from Pjatigorsk vary widely from almost whitish 

till brightest lilac. Easy and hardy in garden. 10.00 

310. Crocus rujanensis 

Although known for many years C. rujanensis was finally described only in 1989. A 

relative of C. atticus, it flowers in spring, with flowers from mid to deep purple inside, 

and cream to buff exterior, lined and feathered in purple. Vigorous and attractive. 5.00 

311. Crocus suaveolens 

Not long ago regarded as subsp. of C. imperatii now it is altered in status as species. NEW 

Flowers bright violet purple with yellow throat in some surrounded by lighter or even 

whitish zone. Outside buff with deep purple stripes. Very rarely offered in catalogues. 10.00 

312. Crocus tauricus Ai-Petri forms 

Very distinctive from other biflorus complex with erect silvery grey leaves and very 

long toothed rings of corm tunic. Flowers large, violet blue striped or flushed on white 

ground, very variable, anthers sometimes with greyish connective. A true gem! Ai- 

Petri Yaila, Crimea. 10.00 

313. Crocus tommasinianus x vernus ‘YALTA’ 

I raised this wonderful crocus from seeds received from Nikitsky Botanical Garden 

in Yalta, Crimea under name C. tommasinianus. Outer petals very light silvery-blue, 

inner dark violet-blue. 2.00 

314. Crocus veluchensis (w) 

Flowers very nice, dark purple with white throat, a little variable. Do not like complete 

drying out in summer, because forming of new roots starts before the leaves of previous 

season dry out, but does not suffer if planted immediately after receiving of corms. 

From Bulgaria. 4.00 

315. Crocus veluchensis ‘ALBA’ (w) 

Very beautiful form of this marvellous species with very large pure white or slightly 

pinkish tinted flowers. Must be planted immediately after receiving of corms. Don’t 

like drying out during summer. 5.00 

316. Crocus vernus ‘CROATIA’ 

Comparatively early flowering form with light bluish-violet flowers without darker 

blotch at tip of petals. Collected in Croatia. 2.00 

317. Crocus vernus ‘ORADEA’ 

Later but very abundantly flowering form with light pale violet flowers and darker spot 

at tip of petals. Collected near Oradea in Romania. 2.00 

ERANTHIS 

318. Eranthis longistipitata 

Central Asian species with a miniature ruff of highly divided, almost needle-like leaves 

behind a bright yellow bloom 1.5 cm across. During flowering flower stalk elongates 

bringing flower over leaf rosette. The whole sits on a 5-cm stem and is smaller than the 

more common species. Best left undisturbed in humus-rich, well-drained, soil, planted 

5-8 cm deep. Very rarely offered. Iranian plants seem to be another, still undescribed 

species. 

319. Eranthis stellata 

One of the most beautiful Eranthis species with large pure white flowers and medium 

sized black tubers which seem never is without roots. Don’t like drying out and not 

very easy, but well set seeds. Will be shipped separately, immediately after harvesting 

as don’t like staying out of soil. From 100 cheap tubers bought by me from 

Chen-yi only 1(!) germinated. Please, order early. Now available only from me and 

stock very limited!

ERYTHRONIUM 

320. Erythronium dens-canis 

This stock is raised from seeds collected wild in NE Spain. Quite variable, but mostly 

in pinkish shades (some white can occur) and mottled foliage. 2.00 

321. Erythronium dens-canis niveum 

White flowering form from Bibor mnts. Romania. We have two a little different stocks – 

one is a little earlier than other is. Both originate from nature and are true to name. 4.00 

322. Erythronium multiscapoideum 

This very rarely obtainable American species has strongly marbled and veined dark NEW 

leaves and stem which branches underground. The flowers are creamy-white with an 

orange-yellow base and white anthers. Makes short stolones. From Northern Sierra 

Nevada foothills in California. Regardless of origin quite easy to grow in pots and in 30.00 

garden. 

323. Erythronium sibiricum subsp. altaicum 

Very vigorous subsp. flowering much earlier than type subspecies with very large 

pure white, sometimes fading to very light lilac flowers. Excellent increaser, perfectly 

replacing by self-sowing. Collected on alpine meadows in Republic of Tuva, upper 

course of the River Ka-hem at altitude 2400 m. 8.00 

324. Erythronium sibiricum subsp. sibiricum 

Type subsp. of Siberian ally of E. dens-canis flowering later and with much larger, 

bright cyclamen-purple flowers and yellow anthers all at the same level. Very beautiful! 

Planted under shrubs in half shade naturalizes. 10.00 

325. Erythronium sibiricum ‘GORNAYA SHORIA’ 

Very exceptional selection with traditionally purple flowers but buds is showing out 

of soil only when all other erythroniums ended flowering. Something later even than 

‘White Fang’. 20.00 

326. Erythronium toulumnense 

This Californian species has narrow wavy-margined bright green leaves. The attractive NEW 

bright lemon-yellow flowers have greenish centres and darker yellow anthers with 2-6 

flowers per scape. My stock is grown from seeds originally collected in Central Sierra 

Nevada, California. It is a great rarity in the wild, with a limited distribution but easy 

in garden in light shade. 

5.00 

327. Erythronium x ‘JEANNINE’ 

This beautiful hybrid was raised by W. P. van Eeden and named by Michael Hoog in NEW 

honour of his wife. I got one bulb of it from his hands and now can offer to my customers. 

Large yellow flowers with a faint red throat ring, over marbled leaves. Something 

smaller than Pagoda, but very proportional. 

5.00 

328. Erythronium x ‘SUNDISC’ 

Strongly bronze shaded foliage below spikes of large, yellow flowers with a distinct 

red ring in the throat. The most distinct E. tuolumnense hybrid. 5.00 

FRITILLARIA

Type subspecies with flowers pale green with purple suffused tips and purplish brown 

inner petals, inside shining green. Flowers earlier than other stocks. This one was collected 

in SW Turkey, at Baba-Dag mnt., near Fethie 2.00 

330. Fritillaria alburyana 

One of the most unusual frits of very dwarf habitus and comparatively very large 

bright pink flowers from Eastern Turkey, not very difficult in garden here, although 

stem could be taller for so huge flowers. Rarity! 12.00

331. Fritillaria armena 

A dwarf species (15 cm high) with up to 3 narrow bell shaped flowers, dark plum 

coloured inside and out, with glaucous bloom outside. Collected in E Anatolia (Erzurum), 

Turkey (HN-0212). I’m successfully growing it outside. 7.00 

332. Fritillaria aurea 

One of the most attractive yellow flowering fritillaries with solitary pendant broad bell 

shaped, bright yellow tessellated with brown flowers. Quite variable in height – from 

5 to 25 cm. I’m growing it outside. 8.00 

333. Fritillaria bithynica 

This beautiful and easy growable Turkish species has glaucous leaves and up to three 

vivid lizard-green bells infused yellow at the tip and inside, on stems only 15-25 cm

shiny, even blackish maroon. Very few! 

20.00 

336. Fritillaria camschatcensis ‘DWARF’ 

This unusual form I received as almost rotten chips under name “green form”. After 

one year of “sleeping” it came up and two years later flowered turning up as a very 

dwarf (10 - 15 cm tall) beautiful black flowered form, only back of petals has greenish 

midrib. Up to 5 flowers on stem. 15.00 

337. Fritillaria camschatcensis ‘FLORE PLENA’ 

Another curiosity, which I almost lost after terrible attack of water rats to my shade 

garden and slowly recovered from very few grains, left out of rat’s stomachs. Now I 

grow it in full sun without any problems. Up to 9(!) fully double flowers on stem, in 

petals mix of black, green and yellowish shades. 12.00 

338. Fritillaria camschatcensis ‘LUTEA’ 

This stock had suffered from water-rat attack. Now it is grown up again and I can offer 

it to you. This is medium high with beautiful pale yellow flowers. 10.00 

339. Fritillaria camschatcensis Petropavlovsk, Russia 

Flowers - on top of robust stem, dark purple brown, almost black. In wild needs half NEW

342. Fritillaria dagana 

Extremely rare species from Sajan mountain range in Siberia. Flowers yellow or 

brown with purplish-brown tessellation. Bulbs naturally small, stoloniferous. We 

grow it outside in peaty soil in full sun. Very few. 50.00 

32

343. Fritillaria davidii 

It is most unusual frit known to me. By bulb it resembles Dicentra cucullaria but each 

grain forms individual leaf which appears late in summer and has unusual cross-veining. 

Large brown chequered flowers with large yellow tips appear in spring on leafless 

stem. Remains dormant only for few weeks around May-June. Needs woodland soil 

with some addition of loam. 30.00

stripe along midrib of each segment, leaves grey green. From mountains of S Greece. 

Easy. Well separable from F. pontica by seed capsules and by shape of bulbs which in 

my stock are round, without horns. 3.00 

348. Fritillaria grandiflora (Russia) 

There are two fritillaries grown as “grandiflora”. Russian botanists apply this name to NEW 

frit with very large, even gigantic dark brown and green chequered flowers very different 

from that which is grown as subsp. grandiflora of kotschyana. Excellent grower, good 

increaser and one of the most spectacular in my collection. Very limited stock. 40.00 

349. Fritillaria hermonis subsp. amana

stems bears several, large, green bells marked with soft brown above a characteristic 

terminal whorl or collar of three leaves. Hardy, easy growable species, here growing 

better even in garden than in pots. 

8.00 

352. Fritillaria karelinii aff. (species nova) 

Very beautiful Rhinopetalum - certainly seem to be new species. Flowers of this plant 

are white with more or less prominent green chequering on back of petals, leaves

“Child of Chernobyl”. Flowers beautifully filled with flared tips, chequered purplewhite. 

Very constant. Only few, only from me! 70.00 

358. Fritillaria meleagroides 

This form I received and earlier offered under the name of F. ruthenica. It is much 

smaller plant, not longer than 40 cm. Flowers smaller, up to 3 on stem, dark brown, but 

variable. The end of the name ‘oides’ means „looks like”, although it is very different 

from F. meleagris. From NE Ukraine. 15.00 

359. Fritillaria messanensis subsp. atlantica 

Flowers narrowly campanullate with nicely flared tips of plum purple flower segments, 

sometimes with greenish midrib at base of flowers. Very rare from High Atlas,

a 15 - 20 cm stem. Quite variable but offered are very good form grown from wild 

collected seeds. 8.00 

362. Fritillaria michailowskyi multiflora 

Very dwarf growing form of this variable species carrying up to 15 large bell shaped 

flowers on only 10-15 cm long stem. Its many-headed flower stems force the blooms 

towards the horizontal giving it a totally distinct character from the strictly pendant 

type. Excellent rarity, especially useful for pots 20.00 

363. Fritillaria montana 

Flowers dark reddish-purple with bright yellow upper third of petals up to five on a 

15 - 20 cm stem. Quite variable. My stock is raised from seeds collected wild in Osethia,

Flowers large, exterior purple or purplish brown with light greenish yellow recurved 

tips, inside greenish yellow, leaves glaucous, linear. Here it grows 35-40 cm tall and 

don’t like drying out. From Spanish Pyrenees, 1900 m. 7.00 

372. Fritillaria reutheri 

By colour flowers are similar to F. michailowskyi but they are arranged on much taller 

stem and petal tips are incurved (not flared), it is more floriferous than typical michailowskyi. 

From Zagros mountains in Iran. 20.00 

373. Fritillaria sewerzowii 

Up to 20 widely flared yellowish, greenish or brownish purple flowers in the upper 

axils of the leaves on 30 - 50 cm stem. From Ber-Kara, Kara-Tau mnt. 8.00 

374. Fritillaria spetsiotica 

This nice small frit was described only in 1991 and it grows wild on the island of 

Spettzes. Flowers are deep purple black edged yellow at tips, inside is yellow speckled 

deep purple-red. Seeds were collected at locus clasicus. 15.00 

375. Fritillaria stenanthera 

Flowers pinkish with purplish base, only 5 - 12 cm high. Should be kept dry during 

summer. Collected in Ugam mnt. range, Uzbekistan. 8.00 

376. Fritillaria strausii 

Although described as only 10-15 cm tall, the plants from Iran are much taller and 

keep this feature in cultivation, too. Usually 1-2 silvery green broadly campanullate 

flowers which can turn brownish at end of blooming. 25.00 

377. Fritillaria thesalla 

A relative of F. graeca but taller and different in its colouring and shape, with up to 

three large jade green bells chequered with coral purple on 25 cm stems. Tolerant to 

summer rains, excellent garden plant. 7.00 

35

378. Fritillaria thunbergii 

This species usually has been misnamed and offered as F. verticillata. Flowers 

greenish white with light purple-green veins on up to 40-cm long stem, upper leaves 

with tendrils. Abundantly blooming stock. 4.00 

379. Fritillaria unibracteata 

Nice small species from China with small purplish brown campanullate flower on 

20 cm tall stem. Looks very similar to F. regelii although from the last I saw only 

drawn illustration. Naturally very small bulbs. 15.00 

380. Fritillaria verticillata ‘URDZHAR’ 

Very beautiful form of this quite variable species with straight bell shaped flowers. 

Height 50-60 cm. Collected at Urdzhar gorge in N. Tar-Bagatai, Kazakhstan. Something 

similar to F. tortifolia from China, but flowers are pure white, in Chinese samples 

colour is distinctly pinkish. 20.00 

381. Fritillaria whitallii 

Flowers broad campanulate nicely green and brown chequered and quite variable 

within the same population. This stock is coming from surroundings of Akseki in 

S Turkey, is very vigorous and good grower here. 7.00 

GALANTHUS 

For EU # 382; outside EU # 601. Galanthus kemulariae 

My stock was collected just on locus classicus near walls of monastery of St. John 

of Georgia, Zedazeni, National park Saguramo, where it makes large clumps in deep 

woodland on very steep slopes. Regardless of its taxonomical status (it was included 

between synonyms of G. lagodechianus by Aaron Davis) offered plants are distinct 

and comes from authentic stock. 15.00 

For EU # 383; outside EU # 602. Galanthus koenianus 

One of the most unusual and really the rarest of snowdrops grown only in very few NEW 

specialists collections and I couldn’t find any offer of it. Having only 5 bulbs to offer 

was not easy to decide about offering of this exclusive plant. The most important feature 

which allows easy to separate it from all other snowdrops is distinctly lengthways 

ribbed under surface of each leaf. Small plant, only 7 - 10 cm tall. Very, very few! 

100.00 

For EU # 384; outside EU # 603. Galanthus nivalis ‘POCULI PERFECT’ 

Absolute gorgeous novelty - a must for every galanthophile with absolutely perfect 

flowers of “poculiformis” shape (where inner petals are of same size and shape as 

outer) but flower segments are purest white and wider than in usually offered forms. 

Perfect selection from wild plants in Czech Republic. 25.00 

For EU # 385; outside EU # 604. Galanthus snogerupii 

Regarded by some as subspecies of G. ikariae, this comes from very uniform popula- NEW 

tion on Naxos Island and looks quite different from those grown by me as type G. 

ikariae. Leaves are soft green which separates this one from type subspecies. Very 

rarely offered and only few to sale. 

30.00 

GERANIUM 

386. Geranium charlesii NURATAU 

Very distinct and undoubtedly one of the best tuberous geraniums, very floriferous, 

compact, completely covered with pinkish purple flowers. It flowers much earlier than 

other tuberous geraniums. I recommend annual lifting to provide dry summer rest. 

From Nuratau mountains, Uzbekistan. 15.00 

387. Geranium charlesii punctata 

Most beautiful form of G. charlesii I have ever seen, so different that it is worth a 

varietal name. Foliage slightly divided but with very prominent deep reddish purple 

markings - spots and lines. Flowers pinkish-purple. (9805) 15.00

388. Geranium transversale ‘LACINIATA’ 

Very beautiful and unusual form of this wonderful species with leaves having only 4-6 

narrowly linear entire lobes which give a plant very delicate airy appearance. Unusual 

and showy. Naturally small tubers. Collected at Bashkizilsai, Uzbekistan (ARJA-9656). 5.00 

389. Geranium transversale ‘ROSEA’ 

This is much brighter colour form with distinctly pink flowers of this widespread species 

spotted out between thousands of trivial purple colour forms at Korzhantau range, 

E of Tashkent. 10.00 

390. Geranium tuberosum BATM-324 

Originally it was collected under name “macrostylum”. I like this one for the excellent 

shape of leaves which attracted attention in wild and were the reason of its collecting. 

From Kisidagi gec. in Turkey. 5.00 

HYACINTHUS 

391. Hyacinthus chionophylus 

Flowers are blue or slightly lilac toned, very sweetly scented. Not very difficult to 

grow and always surprises by its elegance comparing with fat spikes of garden cultivars. 

Very few. From Ziyaretpesi gec. in Turkey. 15.00 

392. Hyacinthus litwinowii 

Marvellous wild hyacinth from vicinity of Arvaz in Kopet-Dag mountains, S. Turkmenistan 

with large spike of rather small violet-blue flowers in rosette of wide leaves. 

I successfully grow it on outside beds providing good drainage and annual lifting to 

ensure hot rest. Very few available. 25.00 

393. Hyacinthus orientalis 

Another wild hyacinth regarded as ancestor of garden hyacinths. Up to 12 waxy bells NEW 

on 20 cm long stems in soft celestial blue with heavenly scent. Very rarely cultivated. 

From Gaziantep, Turkey. 

15.00 

IRIS 

JUNO (SCORPIRIS) SPECIES 

394. Iris albomarginata 

I offer true species collected in locus classicus. Flowers light blue with white blotch 

but quite variable on 10 to 25 cm long stem. Under this name II. graeberiana, vicaria 

or zenaidae usually are offered. 20.00 

395. Iris x albomarginata ‘MOONLIGHT’ 

I’m multiplying my plants from seeds but many of them are pollinated by bees and some- NEW 

times very beautiful hybrids appear. This one belongs to such and I was pleasantly surprised 

when such beauty appeared between my I. albomarginata seedlings. I suppose that 

some form of bucharica or orchioides was involved in its parentage. Flowers are nicely 

pale yellow with greyish green large blotch on darker yellow falls. Height around 30 cm. 

37 

25.00 

396. Iris aucheri from Bahce Koyu, Turkey 

This iris was collected during BATM expedition near vil. Bahce Koyu, it is good 

increaser, vigorous and variably blue shaded but rarely blooms with me as usually 

start growing in winter and are damaged by frost. Must be much easier in districts with 

a something milder winter. 5.00 

397. Iris aucheri ‘SNOWWHITE’ 

This clone was originally selected from plants found at Leylek Station in S. Turkey by the NEW 

Henrik Zetterlund & Co. There are several white clones selected but this one belongs to the 

best forming up to 70 cm tall stems and up to 8 glistening white flowers with only minor 

pale yellow toned ridge on large falls. Not difficult, but still very rarely obtainable. 12.00

398. Iris x ‘AWSOME’ (97-HW) 

Overall this winged Juno is a beautiful mauve-blue. The fall is pure white, with a NEW 

very striking mauve-blue rim. Its crest is pale yellow, which also bleeds around its 

base. There are a few dark veined accents around its crest. It is mouth-wateringly 

stunning. Raised by Alan McMurtrie. 

15.00 

399. Iris x ‘BLUE LIPS’ (96-HT) 

Alan McMurtrie crossed not only reticulata irises but some of Juno species, too. This 

hybrid between true I. graeberiana and I. bucharica has light blue flowers; falls are 

white with light blue edges and deep blue slightly ruffled tips, ridge undulate, white, 

greenish yellow at base. Standards violet blue. 10.00 

400. Iris x ‘BLUE RUFFLES’ (96-IM-1) 

In this hybrid blood of I. magnifica and I. graeberiana are involved. Flowers are violet 

blue with large ruffled white falls with bluish stripes and edge. Ridge is white with 

dentate and undulate blue edge. 10.00 

401. Iris bucharica bicoloured ‘SWAN WINGS’ 

This one is seedling raised by me from Alan McMurtries selection “LWW”. Flowers 

are big and with combination of pure white and clean lemon yellow. Lobes of style 

branches are very long, shallowly laciniate and crisped giving impression of frilly appearance. 

One of the best bicoloured forms. 8.00 

402. Iris bucharica ‘TONY’ 

Certainly this is one of the most lovely I. bucharica forms from river terraces and dry NEW 

slopes in very S of Tadjikistan, Wasmin-Kuch Mtn. It is the shortest (15-20 cm) of all 

bucharica’s with pale lemon yellow flowers and slightly deeper yellow crest with dark 

green stripes on sides. So different that could be even new species, but at present I gave 

it cultivar’s name ‘Tony’ in honour of Tony Hall, best grower of Juno irises at Kew. 40.00 

403. Iris x ‘COOL ELEGANCE’ (95-JO ?) 

This hybrid between I. bucharica and I. magnifica has large and sturdy white flowers 

with beautiful round lemon yellow falls and deep yellow ridge, standards are light 

blue. May be the seedlings number isn’t correct, as there are some mix of labels, but 

flower colour confirms parentage. 10.00 

404. Iris x ‘CRÈME BRULEE’ (96-MN) 

If you’ve ever had Creme Brulee you will find this Juno tantalizing. It’s creamy white NEW 

like the desert’s custard. The yellow-green fall blotch is like a lightly brulee’d version 

of the desert’s sugared topping. The standards are recurved with points like spear tips, 

and its style arm ribs are dusted pale yellow. Raised by Alan McMurtrie. 

10.00 

405. Iris galatica 

Flowers in general light reddish-purple with dark purple blade but can be quite variable. 

Flower shape, characters of foliage and bract and bracteole of offered sample well suits 

the original concept of the species. Collected near Zelve, in Cappadocia, Turkey. 30.00 

406. Iris x “graeberiana” ‘DARK FORM’ 

This superb hybrid was raised in Czech Republic before II World War and in sixties 

sold to Potterton & Martin, who then offered it as “I. graeberiana dark form”. Now it 

disappears from catalogues. It is very vigorous growing plant almost indistinguishable 

from Iris zenaidae, but it is sterile. 8.00 

407. Iris kuschakewiczii Alma-Ata 

Regardless of almost desert like conditions in nature it is surprisingly tolerant species 

grown for many years with me even in outside garden. Only 15 cm tall with up to 

four light violet blue flowers with white ridge surrounded by large deep purple blotch. 

From near Alma-Ata in Kazahstan. 25.00

408. Iris magnifica ‘AGALIK’ 

The tallest of Juno irises with very light blue, even whitish flowers. Excellent form 

from Agalik valley, Seravschan mnt. range, Uzbekistan. Easy in garden where abundantly 

blooms and increases from year to year. 3.00 

409. Iris magnifica ‘MARGARET MATHEW’ 

This form was selected in RBG Kew and named by charming wife of great Iris and 

Crocus specialist Brian Mathew. Flowers of this are violet blue shaded throughout, 

only falls are almost white. 7.00 

410. Iris magnifica ‘VIRGINITY’ 

Usually in gardens pale sky-blue forms of this species are grown. The offered one, 

however, represents some extreme kind – its flowers are of purest white colour. The 

form was selected among thousands of plants in Agalik valley near Samarkand, Seravschan 

mnt. range, Uzbekistan. 5.00 

411. Iris x ’NIGHT HERO’ (97-LK) 

This is hybrid between I. zenaidae and I. bucharica. Its flowers are tricoloured, standards 

and style branches are light violet blue, but falls are brownish purple with very 

large bright lemon yellow dentate ridge. I don’t know other similar between Juno 

irises. 10.00 

412. Iris orchioides s.l. ‘KHIRGHIZIAN GOLD’ 

This is vegetatively propagated clone from one bulb originally brought by me from 

Ala-Archa in W Kirghizian Ala-Tau during my first mountain trip. It has throughout 

intense yellow flowers, of much deeper colour than in any of seen stocks so far. I suppose 

it must be separated at least as subspecies. 15.00 

413. Iris orchioides s.l. ‘URUNGATSCHSAI’ 

This stock represents the other extreme of variation of this species s.l. being dwarf, 

only 12-15 cm tall with 1-3 large creamy white or creamy, yellow crested flowers, 

ridge hairy in throat. One of the showiest juno irises, certainly worth of the FCC 

award. Keeps its dwarf habitus in culture, too. Storage roots thin. Collected on Ugam 

mnt. range, Uzbekistan. 10.00 

414. Iris pseudocapnoides 

When I for the first time collected this iris at Chimgan it never associated in my mind 

with I. orchioides as it was regarded by local botanists. The first name I gave to it was 

I. capnoides. Finding of true I. capnoides showed that Chimgan plant is new species. 

It is up to 35 cm high with 3-6 whitish flowers shading violet with age and crenate (not 

hairy as in I. orchioides s.l.) ridge. Storage roots very thick. 25.00 

415. Iris rosenbackiana ‘HARANGON’ 

This is one of the latest flowering forms. Flowers are very big, white with violet tint, 

blades of falls violet, anthers white. One of the most beautiful. Excellently growing 

stock coll. in Harangon, Hissar mnt. range, Tajikistan, which in flower colour 

approximates so called I. nicolai. 20.00 

416. Iris rosenbackiana ‘TOVILJ DARA’ 

Flowers bright purple. Undoubtedly, the most deviating colour form of this variable 

sp. which mostly correspond with a colour traditionally regarded as typical for 

I. rosenbachiana. Found only near village Tovilj-Dara, N Darwas. 25.00 

417. Iris x ‘SMILE OF SUN’ (07-01) 

This one was selected from open pollinated seeds of I. bucharica, but certainly is hybrid, 

because don’t set seeds. Flowers are very stocky, even “fat” with very wide deep 

yellow falls, wide whitish style branches and large bluish standards showing influence 

of I. vicaria or I. zenaidae blood. 10.00 

39

418. Iris x ‘SNOWBUNTING’ (96-NO) 

Alan McMurtrie’s Juno hybrid between I. vicaria and I. bucharica. This one has 

slightly bluish shaded almost white flowers with very prominent dark lemon yellow 

ridge surrounded by yellow zone and light blue standards. 10.00 

419. Iris x ‘SUNNY DAY’ (94-OC or 94-SS) 

Talk about a warm breath of fresh air: this Juno is white overall, with a large bright NEW 

egg-yoke yellow blotch on the fall which is surrounded by a white rim. A few faint 

grey veins can be seen in the rim. The style arms and small standards are white, lightly 

infused with mauve. Bright and refreshing. 

40 

15.00 

420. Iris x ’SUNNY SIDE’ (93-KA or 93-LH) 

One of the most elegant hybrids between I. magnifica and I. bucharica, blooming very 

abundantly with generally light yellow flowers but large falls are much deeper yellow 

with almost orange ridge surrounded by large zone of same colour. My favourite from 

first blooming. Tall, sturdy, vigorous! 20.00 

421. Iris svetlaneae 

One more beauty of dwarf Juno’s. It is similar to I. maracandica, differing in deep 

yellow flower colour and more dwarf appearance. Offered stock originates from Kuhi-Tang 

mountains in S. Uzbekistan. (ARJA-0102). 20.00 

422. Iris vicaria ‘HODJI-OBI-GARM’ 

A nice juno iris excellently growing in the garden. This stock has almost white, slightly 

bluish shaded flowers, height 40 cm. Collected near Hodji-obi-Garm, Varsob valley, 

Tadjikistan. (RM-8269). 7.00 

423. Iris vicaria ‘MAIHUR’ 

A bit variable stock with light blue flowers. Seems to be the smallest of “vicarias” and 

the latest of known stocks. When it starts, other stocks finish flowering. Collected in 

valley Maihur, Hissar mnt. range, Tadjikistan. 10.00 

424. Iris willmottiana 

This is a quite variable species, too. The offered stock has 3 - 8 nice cobalt blue flowers 

with white blotch on falls on short stout apr. 20 cm high stem with quite densely 

packed foliage at flowering time. One of the most showy and desired Juno species. 

From Karatau m. range, Kazakhstan. 25.00 

425. Iris “willmottiana” ‘ALBA’ 

Although distributed as “I. willmottiana” form, really it is garden hybrid with I. vicaria 

as one of parents. Flowers pure white with a yellow crest. Sterile. It is very 

floriferous, can be grown outside and is exceptionally impressive. 7.00 

426. Iris zenaidae 

Flowers large, deep cobalt blue, widely winged with white, striped blue blade, crest 

white with distinct blue rim. One of the rarest and most beautiful species introduced 

in culture. Very good grower. Collected in its locus classicus - Kugart valley, Fergana 

mnt. range, Kirghizstan. 15.00 

RETICULATA IRISES 

427. Iris histrioides 

Possibly most beautiful of reticulata irises, now is very rare in nature and I didn’t find 

it during my trips. Several years ago I got some pinch of seeds from Czech collector 

and from those seeds come offered stock. Flowers are large, brightest sky blue, falls 

are of same shade with blotch bluish veined on whitish ground and more or less prominent 

small yellow midvein. 8.00 

428. Iris reticulata ‘ALL THAT JAZZ’ (87-BN-1) 

This is one of Alan’s first really good hybrids. It shows some of the possibilities of NEW 

bring fresh blood into the Reticulata hybrid mix. One of the things you will notice right 

away is how large the flower parts are. The falls are dark purple with an amazing 1mm 

wide bright yellow ridge. The ridge is surrounded on either side by pure white. The 

style arms and standards are significantly lighter in colour. Not just another purple. 15.00

429. Iris reticulata ‘BOLD’N BEAUTIFUL’ (91-DR-2) 

One of the best hybrids raised by Alan McMurtrie from cross between Armenian 

I. reticulata caucasica with I. histrioides ‘Atilla’. Flowers large very dark lilac with 

falls deep purple with small yellow blotch. 6.00 

430. Iris reticulata ‘HALKIS’ 

This beautiful form of I. reticulata was found by Norman Stevens at Halkis Dag in Batman 

prov. Turkey in 1990. It is very unusually coloured – standards and style branches 

are distinctly light sky-blue but falls deepest purplish-blue, almost black. Ridge very 

narrow, yellow, surrounded by white, slightly dark spotted zone. 5.00 

431. Iris reticulata ‘TURKISH DELIGHT’ (93-BY-7) 

Flowers of classical I. reticulata form and reddish violet shade throughout all flower 

parts only around the falls ridge the colour changes to blue. The ridge itself is a striking 

bright yellow, which bleeds into the fall making the ridge appear very wide. Raised 

by Alan McMurtrie. 6.00 

432. Iris reticulata ‘VELVET SMILE’ (87-CQ-3) 

Alan McMurtrie crossed the Armenian I. reticulata caucasica (from lake Sevan) with an 

unregistered blue hybrid from William van Eeden. In my opinion it is far better then all 

other traditional cultivars. Flowers are very large, with bluish-purple standards and very 

deep purple falls marked with bright orange-yellow ridge surrounded by white stripes. 7.00 

433. Iris reticulata ‘VIOLET MYSTERY’ (92-CG-1) 

A delightful dark violet iris with bright yellow ridge. From a cross made by Alan 

McMurtrie between the Armenian I. reticulata caucasica (from lake Sevan) and 

I. histrioides. 8.00 

434. Iris winogradowii 

True gem of this section with very large, soft primrose-yellow flowers early in the 

season. Prefer light shade, peaty soil with good drainage, which never dries out completely 

because rooting starts early. 12.00 

435. Iris winogradowii ‘ALBA’ 

Very unusual form of I. winogradowii with almost white flowers only very lightly 

bluish shaded on falls around lemon yellow ridge. I got it from Czech Republic as 

collected in wild near Borjomi in Georgia but I’m afraid that it is some hybrid as I have 

never got seeds of it. Regardless of its identity it is quite unique well growing plant 

with unusual colour for reticulata irises. 10.00 

INTERSPECIES HYBRIDS RAISED BY ALAN McMURTRIE 

My Canadian friend Alan McMurtrie is well known to Iris lovers for his fanatical interest in reticulate 

irises. Alan has made thousands upon thousands of crosses which have been yielding unusual 

colours, flower forms, etc. By kindness of Alan I again can offer to you few new hybrids. 

436. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae x Çat species ‘DARKNESS’ (90-BH-1) 

Excellent hybrid from Alan McMurtrie of typical I. reticulata flower form with something 

slimmer all parts of bloom. Standards and style branches bright reddish purple, 

falls near black with small creamy yellow ridge surrounded by tiny white zone, which 

contains a few near-black dots. 10.00 

437. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae ‘DEBONAIR’ (00-JB-1) 

A stunning combination of pale blue, yellow, green and white. Its falls are brushed 

pale blue turning green towards the ridge. The large centre area is yellow with a few 

green dots. Its style arms are very distinct, with the rib being light yellow, changing 

to light green on either side, and then light blue along the outer 1/5. The large style 

lobes are white. 10.00 

41

438. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae ‘DOWN TO EARTH’ (94-AT-2) 

Magnificent rich dark brown on a yellow ground, nicely accented with blue-green 

toned style arms that are tipped yellow-green. The various hues on the style arms give 

it a mysterious quality. Its standards have been reduced to yellow-green hairs only 0.5 

mm in width but of normal length. 10.00 

439. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae ‘ICE CREAM’ (97-CK-3) 

A nice white with bold blue style ribs. The falls are slightly infused with soft yellow NEW 

and a few blue dots. There are a few larger oblong dots around, and on, the yellow 

ridge. The standards reduced to half height mm wide hairs. 

20.00 

440. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae ‘JUMP FOR JOY’ (00-KV-1) 

A lovely densely veined dark brown on a yellow background. The style arms are ol- NEW 

ive green, softly infused purple along their edge. The lobes are yellow blended green 

with brown veining. Its standards are reduced to short hairs due to its Iris danfordiae 

breeding. A real delight. 

20.00 

441. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae ‘MAKING OUT’ (95-CS-1) 

This one is very slightly greenish shaded white with lemon yellow ridge on falls and 

very sparse and narrow deep blue spots on sides. Style branches with large greenish 

blue mid-zone well contrasting with other parts. Its standards have been reduced to 

white hairs of normal length. 15.00 

442. Iris danfordiae x Çat species ‘PARIS FLARE’ (94-FL-5) 

A wonderfully unique looking reticulata. It’s purple in colour, with a pointed velvety 

fall blade. You’d almost swear the blade was indeed made of purple velvet. The area 

right around the fall ridge is darker, to the point of being black. The fall blade colour 

appears solid; without the typical white beside the end of the ridge. 15.00 

443. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae x Çat species ‘PASSION’ (98-PR-3) 

A wonderful olive and yellow combination. Very unusual and striking. Its fall blade 

is olive overlaid on a bright yellow ground, with typical white areas beside its yellow 

ridge. This bright yellow and white area around the ridge contains numerous large olive 

blotches. The style arms are olive infused purple, while the lobes are olive with a touch 

of infusion around the edges. Its standards are reduced to hairs about 7 mm long. 15.00 

444. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae x Çat species ‘REGAL’ (98-NP-9) 

An indescribably gorgeous violet-blue. I’ve never quite seen anything like it before. 

The style arm ribs are accented blue and have a white apex. The standards range between 

½ to 2/3 of normal width and are respectively either pointed or cusped. 10.00 

445. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae x Çat species ‘RUBY’ (98-NP-3) 

Lovely ruby colour on a yellow background. Somewhat darker or more intense around 

the fall ridge, with numerous large ruby blotches and veins filling the surrounding 

yellow. The style arms are lighter with violet tones in the ribs. Its standards are hairlike. 

Just brownish and pinkish shades ads special beauty to this flower. 10.00 

446. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae ‘SEA GREEN’ (97-CQ-1) 

An amazing blue-green, with a hint of slightly darker veining. A yellow circle surrounds 

the ridge, which is filled with large dark blue-green dots. The style arms are infused 

with dark blue and plum while their lobes are similar to the fall. Normally we don’t 

like if a colour fades, but in this case, just before the flowers finish, much of the yellow 

comes out, leaving a lovely blue flower with only yellow surrounding the ridge. It’s 

quite something to see some of these blue flowers beside their green counterparts. 15.00 

42

447. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae x Çat species ‘STORM’ (98-NP-2) 

Occasionally as a storm approaches dark, almost black, clouds stand out in stark 

contract to the surrounding sky. This reticulata is similar. Bright yellow shines through 

very heavy black veining on its fall, which is offset by blue style arms with yellowgreen 

ribs. Occasionally the blue appears slightly mauve. Its standards have been 

reduced to hairs only 0.5 mm wide and half their normal length. Incredible colour. 15.00 

448. Iris sophenensis x danfordiae ‘SUNBEAM’ (98-NP-7) 

Stunning yellow and white bicolour! Falls are bright yellow lightening to cream at 

the edge. Highlighted by a few large green blotches. Style arms are white, with pale 

green ribs (sometimes dotted). Hair-like standards. Few. 15.00

OTHER BULBOUS IRISES (XIPHIUM) 

449. Iris latifolia ‘DARK WAVES’ 

This form is summer flowering 60-70 cm tall with deep see-blue flowers. I raised it 

from seeds collected by Michael Hoog in Spain and presented to me during my first 

visit in Holland. Surprisingly hardy here but flourished only in unheated greenhouse. 4.00 

450. Iris latifolia ‘LIGHT CLOUD’ 

From the seedlings of I. latifolia I selected three colour forms. This one is the lightest 

with almost white, slightly bluish shaded flowers. 4.00 

451. Iris latifolia ‘SKY BLUE’ 

It is another colour form with very large light blue flowers. Selected between seedlings 

of same origin as in previous stocks. All are very good growers of exceptional beauty. 4.00 

REGELIA, REGELIO-CYCLUS AND OTHER IRISES 

452. Iris babadagica blue 

Earlier I offered this very beautiful dwarf growing (up to 30 cm) bearded Iris under 

name I. reichenbackii. Now my customers helped to correct its name. Flowers purplishblue 

with darker fall and prominent white, in throat yellow beard. 5.00 

453. Iris babadagica white 

After request of my customers who wanted just white flowering form of this something 

mysterious iris I made selection in my original stock separating white flowering 

plants. Although still I am not certain about correct naming it will be marvellous addition 

to every iris collection. 5.00 

454. Iris x ‘DARDANUS’ 

Hybrid between I. korolkowii and I. iberica with strong tall stems and large flowers 

– standards shaded and veined bright lilac, falls with coarse purple veins on creamy 

ground. Height up to 60 cm. 3.00 

455. Iris korolkowii BASHKIZILSAI 

This stock was collected near Bashkizilsai without flowers and before it bloomed 

with me I was quite doubtful with naming as rhizomes were atypically stoloniferous. 

Flower parts narrow, base colour white with lilac brown veining and signal blotch. 8.00 

456. Iris schachtii 

This beautiful dwarf Iris from Central Turkey in wild is very variable by colour from 

reddish purple to yellow and even glistening white. It is related to I. taochia but distinctly 

smaller. My stock comes from surroundings of Gurun where all colour forms 

grew together but population was destroyed by new road building. 10.00 

43

457. Iris sprengeri 

It is small plant only 10-15 cm height with creeping rhizomes forming stolones. Basic 

colour is white or slightly purplish, heavily veined reddish or purplish brown, falls 

bearded with sparse narrow band of whitish or purplish hairs. By colour of hairs this 

stock approximate closely related I. acutiloba from Iran, but my plants originate from 

surroundings of Aksaray in Turkey. 25.00 

458. Iris stolonifera ‘SINA DARK’ 

Very dark coloured form with flowers of strange purplish brown tint, not easy to describe. 

Middle zone of standards distinctly light violet. Collected under large archa 

(Juniperus) in Sina valley, SE Uzbekistan, where it was just the darkest clump, which 

I have ever seen. 10.00 

459. Iris suaveolens 

During one of my Turkish trips not far from Abant lake I collected very dwarf bearded NEW 

iris which turned excellent grower here. Up to last spring when Brian Mathew visited 

me, it was grown as sp. # JATU-004. Brian kindly identified it for me, so now I can 

offer this only 10 cm tall beauty with large creamy yellow flowers shaded purplish 

brown on falls. 

10.00 

460. Iris x ‘SYLPHIDE’ 

Standards pale lilac, dotted purple, falls creamy dotted and striped purple with dark 

blotch. 5.00 

LILIUM 

461. Lilium maximowiczii 

This nice lily was collected in Russian Far East and accidentally mixed with Fritillaria 

maximowiczii collected during same expedition. Only recently I separated both 

plants (bulbs of both are similar). Flower stem is 60 cm long (can be much taller) 

with cinnabar orange brown-purple spotted turk’s-cap flowers. Comparatively late 

flowering, need acid soils. 

MUSCARI AND THEIR RELATIVES 

44 

NEW 

462. Bellevalia crassa 

For me it isn’t easy to decide when this extreme rarity from Turkey is more beautiful 

- in flowers or in seeds. Forms short and very dense inflorescences of slightly greenish 

white flowers between two wide leaves. Upper flowers slightly purplish pink shaded. 

At fruiting raceme remain very dense. Plant of steep screes; up to our expeditions was 

known only from type locality but we found new locality, too (BATM-305, LST-200). 20.00 

463. Bellevalia dubia 

Up to five spreading leaves below a 40 cm long scape holding 10-30 flowers in each; 

the individual campanulate blooms are 8-16 mm long on 4-8 mm pedicels. The flowers 

are a deep violet-blue but remarkably become brown later with whitish lobes. My 

stock originates from W Turkey. 

4.00 

464. Bellevalia rixii 

This is very rare species known only from Czug pass with very unusual, slightly variable 

colour. Small bells are blue at base turning reddish purple in direction to tips 

which are greenish yellow and flared after constriction. 25.00 

465. Bellevalia sarmatica 

Very nice species with large loose spike. Up turned flowers are white but when they 

develop and pedicels elongate flowers becomes pendant and turns brown with white 

rim. Very rarely offered. 10.00 

5.00

466. Muscari adilii 

Muscari in general are much overlooked plants but between them are incredible beauties. 

Between the best is one of the rarest in wild species, discovered not long ago and still 

known only by few plants in three small localities. Although in wild it is growing in 

very special conditions on glistening white ground formed from marble or limestone 

chips, it turned very good grower in standard pot mix, too. I’m offering plants of second 

generation. They have very dense and “fat” spikes of very deep blue colour. 20.00 

467. Muscari anatolicum 

Very nice species described only in 1994 with tiny flowers attached with short pedicels 

to reddish toned flower stalk. Fertile flowers almost black with little purplish shade and 

large recurved white lobes distinctly constricted at mouth. Fertile flowers very light 

blue, making excellent contrast. 5.00 

468. Muscari argaei ‘ALBA’ 

Excellent garden plant with dense racemes of pure white flowers of unknown origin. 

Flowers comparatively late. 5.00 

469. Muscari armeniacum LST-120 

This one was very large in nature, in cultivation smaller, but with exceptionally bright 

sky blue fertile flowers topped by pure white cap of glistening white sterile blooms. 

Superb colour. 5.00 

470. Muscari azureum 

Flowers bright blue in dense cm long racemes, leaves narrowly oblanceolate, channelled. 

Excellent for naturalizing on well-drained soil. From Kizildag Pass, Turkey. 

(KPPZ-241). 3.00 

471. Muscari azureum ‘ALBUM’ 

Very beautiful albino form with glistening white bells composed in dense short spikes. 

Excellent grower in gardens and pots. 

45 

NEW 

4.00 

472. Muscari ‘BABY’S BREATH’ 

Very nice pale greenish-blue flowers, something new among traditional muscari colours. 

The blue is delicate, almost but not quite white. The scent is sublime and the 

lime green bud gives just the right amount of counterpoint. Introduced from Cyprus, 

by Jenny Robinson. 2.00 

473. Muscari comosum RUDA-119 

Excellent muscari from Leopoldia group with deep purple something adpressed to 

stem fertile flowers and nice light violet blue fertile flowers arranged in large “cap” 

on top of long spike. 4.00 

474. Muscari comutatum ‘AUCHADRA’ 

New grape hyacinth from Greece with greenish white flowers and closed light green 

lobes. The green flushes on the flowers base part. Very unusual in colour, never before 

similar was seen in gardens. Real gem between Muscari. 

NEW 

20.00 

475. Muscari discolor RIGA-029 

The fertile flowers of this dwarf species are stumpy deep blackish-blue with widely 

open and flared white lobes, sterile flowers light blue to violet. Up to four, narrow, 

channelled leaves curling on the ground below a dwarf stem bearing a quite large 

flower spike. From near Konya, bulbs yellow. 6.00 

476. Muscari discolor ? - species nova? e Archibald 

Although it looks quite similar to M. discolor it was regarded by its discoverer and NEW 

Norman Stevens from Cambridge Bulbs as sufficiently distinct and worth at least subspecies 

name. Tiny, white-mouthed dark blue elongated bells. Bulbs pinkish. From 

Ziyaretpesi gec. 

477. Muscari grandifolium 

Rarely cultivated Muscari from Morocco where it grow at 1700 m altitude in Middle 

Atlas mnt. Hardy in greenhouse, although foliage can be damaged in winter. Flowers 

arranged in fine heads of blue-black from china-blue buds. 20.00 

6.00

478. Muscari leucostomum 

Flowers very dark blue, almost black. Collected near Duschak, Kopet-Dag mnt. Range, 

Turkmenistan. 2.00 

479. Muscari macrocarpum 

Beautiful seed raised stock and so it is virus-free comparing with heavy infected stocks 

usually offered on trade. Flowers at opening are light pink to violet turning later to 

bright yellow and are tremendously fragrant. Makes fat bulbs with perennial roots. 

Nice even at seed-time due large seed capsules. 6.00 

480. Muscari mirum 

Quite recently described species something similar to M. massayanum with dense raceme 

of cylindrical, brownish with yellow reflexed lobes fertile flowers and many 

bright lilac sterile flowers at top. In wild with one leaf but in cultivation usually with 

two leaves. Seedpods very large. 15.00 

481. Muscari muscarimi HONAZ-DAG 

Representative of Muscarimia with large spikes of cold white flowers with brown 

lobes in lower part which gradually changes to slightly lilac shade at top. Nice fragrance. 

Makes bulbs with perennial roots and seldom makes offsets. Raised up from 

seeds and its greatest advantage compared to plants usually available from Dutch companies 

is that it is virus-free. 6.00 

482. Muscari neglectum 

Another very dark flowering species with blackish blue fragrant fertile flowers and up 

to 20 something lighter smaller sterile flowers. This form is collected in Karun valley, 

Bakhtiari Country in Iran (SLIZE-143). 6.00 

483. Muscari pallens 

True wild species from N Caucasus, where it grows in rock crevices. Flowers variable 

- white and very light blue, sometimes with yellowish tint in small spikes. Late blooming 

species. One of the most beautiful Muscari. 2.00 

484. Muscari polyanthum ‘SNOW QUEEN’ 

Undoubtedly the best white muscari I ever saw. It forms incredibly large and dense 

spikes of purest milky white. My first choice for its name was ‘Milky Way’ but as the 

same are used for famous brown chocolate, I changed name to ‘Snow Queen’. 10.00 

485. Muscari sivrihisardaglarensis 

It is very recently described species and for its name Turkish botanists used the name 

of mountain ridge where it was found. My stock was originally collected during LST 

expedition and we found that it is much wider distributed than earlier supposed. Flowers 

dark violet with large white, constricted but with flared lobes mouth. Stem reddish 

toned (not always). 7.00 

486. Muscari spreitzenhoferi 

This Cretan endemic was collected by me and my wife during our autumn trip to Crete. 

Not easy to describe its colour. The fertile flowers are of strange greenish-brownishpurple 

colour with bright yellow constricted mouth. Sterile flowers are light pink or 

blue. All they are composed in tall but loose spike. 6.00 

487. Muscari tenuiflorum 

Beautiful representative of Leopoldias with long spikes and sterile flowers of slightly 

lilac tinted, even pinkish-blue colour and deep blue fertile flowers on short pedicels 

along the spike. From N of Refahye in Turkey. 8.00 

46

ORNITHOGALUM 

Beautiful but much overlooked bulbs, generally because of few species, which can become terrible 

weeds in the garden. Ornithogalums offered by me will never bring such a trouble to your garden. 

Some give excellent cut flowers. 

488. Ornithogalum balansae 

One of the earliest ornithogalums of my collection. Up to 12 snow-white flowers in 

rosette of leaves. Prefers sunny position in well-drained sandy soil. My stock comes 

from Ulu Dag mnt. in Turkey. 2.00 

489. Ornithogalum fimbriatum 

Flowers pure white, among a numerous narrow, densely hairy leaves, height 10 – 15 

cm. Collected in Crimea, Ukraina. Very beautiful! 3.00 

490. Ornithogalum flavescens 

Tall growing (70-90 cm) species with small, 2 cm across yellowish flowers in loose 

racemes. It is of so great request that when I offered it for the first time 8 years ago I 

sold it almost up to last bulb 10.00 

491. Ornithogalum narbonense 

Flowers milky white in long, many flowered spikes, approximately 70 cm long. Middle 

season flowering of tall species – here in the first week of July. 2.00 

492. Ornithogalum oligophyllum 

Superficially is similar to O. balansae but leaves are glaucous and longer. Prefers a sunny 

position in well drained soil, forms up to 12 snow-white flowers, height 10-15 cm. 2.00 

493. Ornithogalum oreoides 

Flowers white-green in large dense umbel between bunch of narrow leaves. Collected 

in Krasnodar district, North Caucasus. 2.00 

494. Ornithogalum ortophyllum 

Flowers are white in a dense umbel in a rosette of narrow leaves, quite similar to common 

Star of Bethlehem, but without bulblets around the base of the parent bulb. From 

village Sakharna, Moldavia (Bessarabia). 2.00 

495. Ornithogalum platyphyllum ‘VARDAHOVIT’ 

Nice large flowering species with green-white flowers in compact raceme among wide 

leaves up to 20 cm high. Needs dry summer rest. In any case good grower in garden. 

Collected in Armenia, near Vardahovit. 3.00 

496. Ornithogalum ponticum ‘SOCHI’ 

Only quite recently described species, somewhat close to O. pyramidale from S Europe. 

Flowers pure white densely spaced on compact (60 cm) spikes, very spectacular and 

useful for garden and flower cutting. 4.00 

497. Ornithogalum pyramidale 

European ally of O. ponticum, in general very similar, but with longer spikes not so 

densely covered with white flowers. Up to 80 cm long. 4.00 

498. Ornithogalum refractum 

Flowers are large, with broad tepals, white, up to 10 among numerous narrow leaves. 

Although producing bulbils, has never become a weed with me. Collected near vil. 

Enem, Krasnodar distr., N Caucasus in a pasture. 2.00 

499. Ornithogalum schmalhausenii 

Very dwarf sp. with sessile umbel of white-green flowers. Leaves narrow, numerous. 

Ideal for rock garden or alpine house. Nice addition to the showiest species. Collected 

Mnt. Hustup, Zangezur mnt. range, Armenia. 2.00 

47

500. Ornithogalum sigmoideum 

One of smallest ornithogalums with very compact many flowered dense inflorescence 

of large white flowers in rosette of narrow leaves which keeps compact habit and high 

ornamental value long after blooming. I don’t know another similar species. From 

Baba-dag in Turkey.

NEW 

15.00 

501. Ornithogalum tenuifolium 

Flowers are white with green in a dense umbel among numerous, very narrow leaves. 

Height 10 cm. Non-invasive! From Spitak district, Armenia. 2.00 

OSTROWSKIA 

502. Ostrowskia magnifica 

Unusual representative of Campanullaceae with a big tuberous rootstock and with - 

10 light whitish-blue, large flowers up to 15 cm across on up to 1 m high stem. Needs 

sunny well-drained place, dry in late summer. Big plants don’t like replanting, so I’m 

offering 4-years old seedlings, which will flower at least in second year. From Hissar 

mnt. range. Only few available! 30.00 

OXALIS 

503. Oxalis adenophylla 

Prefers sunny position and well drained peaty soil. Flowers dainty lilac-pink with deep 

purple throat. Leaves glaucous in dense cushions. Traditionally grown form but now 

rarely offered. 3.00 

504. Oxalis adenophylla ‘PURPLE HEART’ 

Flowers deep pink, only base of petals white, throat greenish shaded. This is something 

smaller form but its greatest advantage is purple coloured base of leaves, giving to each 

glaucous green rosette of leaves “purple heart”! 10.00 

PAEONIA 

505. Paeonia „mlokosewitschii” aff. 

Peonies are not regarded as “bulb” but they have thick rootstock and are replantable in autumn, 

just at time when you plant back your bulbs. During my trip to Iran I saw in flowers 

fantastic peonies, one of them with flowers of incredibly bright yellow colour didn’t known 

between herbaceous species before “Itoch” hybrids with tree-peonies were produced. This 

one is pure herbaceous peony of low compact habitus covered with large bright light yellow 

flowers covering mountain slopes. It certainly isn’t Paeonia mlokosewitschii from 

Caucasus mountains where yellow hint is only slightly visible, nothing similar to this Iranian 

beauty. I’m offering three years old seedlings which will flower after 2 years. 70.00 

PUSCHKINIA 

506. Puschkinia scilloides ‘ARAGAT’S GEM’ 

Wild collected stock of this well-known plant, being slender, with bigger flowers and a 

far better arrangement of the raceme than in the usually cultivated stocks, resembling 

hyacinth and the darkest blue in colour. From Mnt. Aragats, Armenia. 6.00 

ROMULEA 

507. Romulea clusiana 

It is the first time when I’m offering some Romulea – close relative to crocuses with flowers 

of same shape. This one has broad petalled large light violet flowers with well contrasted 

deep yellow throat narrowly edged cream. Many branched stigma is white. Best of my 

romuleas, originally collected wild in Marocco by my Belgium friend. Excellent in pots. 6.00

SCILLA 

508. Scilla armena 

This nice Scilla has only one (occasionally two) bright violet-blue flowers per scape, 

but small number of flowers are compensated by larger number of scapes which can 

be up to 10 for well established bulb. Offered stock originally was collected in Turkey 

near road from Kars to Ardahan at 2175m. 6.00 

509. Scilla bifolia double ‘NORMAN’ 

This beautiful scilla was discovered by Norman Stevens in Turkey. It is very similar to 

S. bifolia but by Norman it was collected far from known S. bifolia localities. Flowers 

deep blue with at least 12 petals and sometimes even with few anthers and stigma. No 

other similar Scilla exist and I never get seeds. 3.00 

510. Scilla greilhuberi 

This very beautiful but something tender Iranian scilla comes from lightly shaded NEW 

woodland areas. It is early blooming, making long (up to 25 cm) spikes with hanging 

blue bells and reflexed tepals. Here some protection in winter is needed, but in summer 

needs dry conditions. 

511. Scilla ingridae ‘VACLAV’ 

Excellent form of this beautiful species reported as collected in Taurus mnt. range, 

S Turkey and received from my Czech friend Vaclav Jošt under name S. ingridae. It 

has very long numerous racemes with up to 10 flowers in each spike. In any case very 

different from wild S. ingridae. One of the best. 4.00 

512. Scilla mesopotamica 

Recently described species from S. sibirica group with very light blue, slightly violet 

shaded flowers on very short pedicels, distinct from others. In its colour can compete 

only with S. winogradowii. 6.00 

513. Scilla mischenkoana 

One of the earliest scillas flowering in the garden together with the earliest crocuses. 

Flowers are bluish white with darker midrib. 8.00 

514. Scilla puschkinioides 

Flowers to , greyish white with sky blue tinge. Good addition to every Scilla collection 

for its quite different appearance, resembling Puschkinia. Need dry summer rest. 

I offer the best form collected at Kugart, Khirghizstan 3.00 

515. Scilla rosenii 

Flowers very beautiful vivid blue with white centre. The perianth segments are sharply 

reflexed like in erythroniums. I grow it in full sun, in peaty soil, never allowing it to 

dry out. From Chra-Ckaro pass, Georgia. 4.00 

516. Scilla rosenii ‘ALBA’ 

Scilla rosenii by itself is plant of exceptional beauty, but its albino form is out of 

competition, with purest white flowers of perfect form and yellow anthers, only some 

albino forms of S. gorganica with their blue anthers may be is a little better. Very 

limited stock. 30.00 

517. Scilla scilloides 

Excellent autumn blooming scilla with pinkish lilac flowers in dense pyramidal spike 

from China and East Siberia. Very hardy and floriferous. 10.00 

518. Scilla x sibrose 

This marvellous hybrid was selected from seedlings of Scilla rosenii, which easy hybridize 

with S. sibirica if both are grown together. The hybrid show all vigour of such 

hybrids, flowers are of deep colour of S. sibirica, large size of S. rosenii, intermediate 

in form and blooms exceptionally abundantly. 6.00

STERNBERGIA 

All Sternbergias are subject of CITES - so hardly protected in nature. All offered here stocks are 

raised only in my nursery. Every season I’m hand pollinating flowers and collecting seeds to increase 

my stocks. 

For EU # 519; outside EU # 605. Sternbergia colchiciflora 

Beautiful tiny sternbergia with small bright yellow flowers almost at soil level between 

longitudinally twisted dark green narrow leaves appearing only in spring, so it can be 

grown outside here. 6.00 

For EU # 520; outside EU # 606. Sternbergia fischeriana 

Usually sternbergias associates with yellow flowers in autumn. Gardeners know one 

exception – white S. candida blooming in spring. Now I can offer another spring 

bloomer – even more rare S. fischeriana with large cold yellow flowers formed in 

spring. This stock comes from most Northern population in Armenia. Needs warm and 

dry summer conditions. 20.00 

For EU # 521; outside EU # 607. Sternbergia greuteriana 

Quite recently described new species (?) of sternbergias from Crete with bright yellow 

flowers, at flowering time almost leafless but leaves elongates during flowering. Larger 

than S. colchiciflora but smaller than S. sicula. Greatest advantage - lush leaves don’t 

miss enjoying of flowers. 6.00 

For EU # 522; outside EU # 608. Sternbergia lutea 

It is one of the largest of autumn sternbergias with golden yellow goblet shaped 

flowers from September between wide deep green leaves. At present S. lutea, sicula 

and greuteriana botanists regard as the same species, but they are so distinct that for 

gardeners’ purposes better to keep separately. 5.00 

For EU # 523; outside EU # 609. Sternbergia sicula 

Large buttercup yellow flowers early in autumn with deep green narrow leaves. I grow 

it in unheated tunnel because outside during our winters leaves usually are seriously 

damaged. From Greece. 4.00 

TRILLIUM 

524. Trillium grandiflorum ‘GOTHENBURGS PINK STRAIN’ 

Superb selection made in Gothenburg. It is created by crossing the old Edinburgh pink 

with a new Fred Case pink selection. The offspring is a good pink with bronzed foliage 

and with light pink flowers. The greatest feature which separates it from others is purplish 

toned leaves, especially at start of vegetation. Although rootstocks look quite small, 

they flowered here but as it is common with Trilliums replanting can delay blooming for 

one season. As seed propagated strain it is a little variable. Very limited stock. 80.00 

TULIPA 

525. Tulipa aucheriana 

Charming dwarf plant with star shaped deep rose pink flowers with purplish basal 

blotch diffusely edged white. Always in great demand! 5.00 

526. Tulipa batalinii 

Flowers of beautiful shape, pale lemon-yellow, but can be variable, because I offer 

seed raised stock. Only 15 cm high. 8.00 

527. Tulipa bifloriformis ‘STARLIGHT’ 

One of many clones of this very widespread in nature species. It is smaller (the first 

flowers open just on ground – excellent for pots) and the flowers are brighter than in 

others. Collected in Kirghizian Ala-Tau, Kirghizstan. 3.00 

50

528. Tulipa binutans 

Another species from bifloriformis/turkestanica group but smaller in size. Its buttons 

and seedpods is down looking but open flowers up-turned - for that its name “twice 

down looking tulip”. 8.00 

529. Tulipa butkowii 

Extremely rare and even may be cultivated only by me. It is that charming bright red 

tulip for which I crossed crazy river by steel rope (see pictures in “Buried Treasures”). 

Height 30-35 cm. 12.00 

530. Tulipa carinata 

In overall appearance similar and taxonomically close to T. fosteriana. It differs in 

foliage, which is keeled and more upwards oriented. Flowers are of more orange shade 

than usually in T. fosteriana seen. Collected very close to locus classicus – in heights 

of Sina valley in SE Uzbekistan. 12.00 

531. Tulipa celsiana 

A beautiful plant with strongly curled, glossy, prostrate leaves and deep yellow, 

outside carmine tinged flowers. Up to 20 cm tall, late flowering tulip. 8.00 

532. Tulipa clusiana ‘MOUNTAINS PRIDE’ 

This is absolutely gorgeous form from Iran with up to 40 cm tall stem and large slightly 

pinkish white flower with pointed petals. Back of outside petals deep purplish pink 

edged white, inside white with large reddish purple shading to violet basal blotch. 

Filaments are blackish purple, white at top, anthers deep purple, stigma almost white. 

Bulbs naturally small. 12.00 

533. Tulipa clusiana ‘TACO’ 

Most likely it is hybrid with yellow T. montana. Flowers outside is soft red with narrow 

lemon yellow edge but when flowers open in sun they transforms to large cool 

yellow stars with darker base and black anthers. 5.00 

534. Tulipa dasystemon Kashka-Su 

The stock comes from very high altitude where it flowers in late May. The late flowering 

habit is maintained in garden here as well, where it flowers with golden yellow 

flowers few weeks after a traditional Dutch stock has finished. It is dwarf and has grey 

green leaves. 7.00 

535. Tulipa dubia ‘BELDERSAI’ 

True species, very different from Dutch grown stock. Dwarf with 2-3 wide, slightly 

undulated, greyish, sometimes almost purple leaves and usually yellow with red suffused 

back of petals flowers, but can be red, orange and even yellow-red striped. From 

slopes of Beldersai valley, near Mt. Chimgan. 3.00 

536. Tulipa eichlerii 

Flowers large, brilliant scarlet red, leaves greyish green, undulated. Our stock is raised 

from seeds of unknown origin and is slightly variable. 8.00 

537. Tulipa ferganica 

Flowers with pointed tips bright purest yellow only on outside something pinkish 

shaded on 20-25 cm tall stem. Leaves keeled, plain green, sometimes waved. I suppose 

that available only from me. 5.00 

538. Tulipa fosteriana x ‘ACADEMICIAN SACHAROV’ (sin. ‘Top Red’) 

Superb hybrid raised by me from cross between T. fosteriana and T. greigii, it looks as 

polyploid form – has very strong stem, unusually large (length of petals up to 18 cm!) 

brightest deep red flower of T. greigii shape with shiny pure black base. Makes large 

bulbs and perfectly increases vegetatively. 10.00 

539. Tulipa fosteriana ‘MRS DAGNIA’ 

Most unusually coloured form of T. fosteriana with large, brightest red flowers, edge 

of petals in upper third distinctly feathered orange-yellow. Collected by me in 1977 as 

a single plant in Agalik valley, Seravschan mnt. 6.00 

51

NEW 

10.00 

541. Tulipa fosteriana ‘RED LIGHTHOUSE’ (K-5) 

This beautiful tulip appeared between my open pollinated T. fosteriana seedlings but 

by flower shape it something resembles garden cultivar and only brightest red colour 

force me to keep it under this heading. It has at least 50% of fosteriana blood and is 

very vigorous grower. 4.00 

542. Tulipa greigii ‘EVENING FIRE’ (S-14-03) 

This excellent form of Tulipa greigii was selected from material originally collected 

in Berkara gorge in Kara-tau mountains. Flowers are very large, deep red with large 

heart-shaped purplish black inner basal blotch. Leaves are with pale purple stripes 

more prominent in upper half. 10.00 

543. Tulipa greigii x ‘GOLDMINE’ (9/1) 

Flowers dark yellow, inner base black with very wide dark red edge, leaves distinctly 

undulated, purple striped. Raised from cross with T. vvedenskyi. 6.00 

544. Tulipa greigii ‘MOUNTAINS GLORY’ (S-14-14) 

Excellent selection from wild T. greigii growing in Berkara gorge. By style of opening 

seems that some kaufmanniana blood included, but anthers didn’t coil. Flowers 

outside violet pink with creamy edge on bottom 2/3 of petals length; inside bright red 

with feathered yellow edge and large deep yellow bottom blotch ending with blackish 

brown blotch up to half of petals length. 10.00 

545. Tulipa hissarica 

The earliest of tulips in my collection that flowers together with crocuses. Flowers are 

yellow shaded greyish-orange outside, 1 – 4 per bulb on 5 – 10 cm long stem. Collected

It is relative of T. fosteriana known only from a pair of localities near Uzbek and Tadjik 

border by shape of flowers resembling T. fosteriana but with invariably brightest red 

flowers and shining black basal inner base without any spot of yellow. I collected it in 

Shing gorge from where Corydalis ruksansii comes. All offerings reported as „ingens” 

from other localities or colours really are misidentified other red tulip species. 20.00 

549. Tulipa kaufmanniana ‘DACITE’ 

Natural hybrid between T. kaufmanniana and T. greigii which I found near Ber-Kara 

gorge in Karatau mountains and named by my elder daughter. Flowers with pointed 

yellow petals and bright red midzone on outside. At inside base light brown edged red 

blotch. Leaves slightly striped. 7.00 

550. Tulipa kaufmanniana ‘LORD’S SUPER’ (‘Svētvakars’) 

Natural hybrid between T. kaufmanniana and T. greigii from Ber-Kara gorge in 

Karatau mountains, Kazakhstan. Flowers of unusual metallic violet red shade of 

T. kaufmanniana type, leaves mottled. Flowers as the last of T. kaufmanniana, together 

with the earliest T. greigii forms. Height 35 cm. 5.00 

551. Tulipa kolpakowskiana 

Medium tall tulip reaching some 40 cm with deep orange, big and elegant flowers 

(reminding lily flowered tulips). From Chu-Ili mts. in Kazakhstan. 7.00

552. Tulipa lanata 

Dazzling orange-scarlet flowers with jet-black centre, on side’s bordered pale yellow 

and with purple pollen. Usually under this name is offered some garden hybrid. True 

species collected on Kugi-Tang mnt. in SW Uzbekistan. 12.00 

553. Tulipa linifolia 

A very good small tulip for sunny spot in rock garden, only 10 cm high with narrowly 

linear undulate-edged grey-green leaves and brilliant scarlet red flowers. Collected in 

South Tajikistan. 4.00 

554. Tulipa orthopoda 

This is another dwarf multiflowering tulip with beautiful compact flowerhead of 

white starry flowers with yellow base, greenish outside. Collected in Karatau range, 

Kazakhstan (RK-8111). Extremely rare species in nature, so far almost unknown in 

gardens, well growing outside. 10.00 

555. Tulipa ostrowskiana 

Excellent brightest red flowers on 30 cm long stem, flower segments pointed at back 

turned tips, inside base black with small yellow corners. Stock comes from Zailyiskiy 

Ala-Tau near Talgar and is true to name what I can’t tell about other stocks offered 

under that name by other nurseries. 6.00 

556. Tulipa regelii 

One of the most unusual and “cream of creams” in tulips. Usually one leaf with longitudinal 

crests on the upper side, for this feature separated in its own section. Flowers 

usually one, rarely two or three, white with pinkish tinge and yellow basal blotch and 

a faint pleasant scent. Only for growing indoors. I recommend planting as late as possible. 

Offered only by me. 80.00 

557. Tulipa sogdiana 

Very nice dwarf tulip species with china white flowers with lemon yellow basal blotch 

on 15 cm tall stem. In nature it grows in semi-desert conditions, so protection against 

summer rains is essential. 5.00 

558. Tulipa subbiflora 

Only recently I identified it as T. subbiflora described by Russian botanist Vvedenskyi. 

Superficially it looks similar to orythioides but stigma hasn’t so long “neck”. Makes 

several large white flowers with sharply edged bright yellow bottom blotch up to half 

of petals length. 5.00 

559. Tulipa subpraestans 

Close to T. praestans but easy can be identified by its sharply pointed narrower petals 

which in sun open wider than in its ally, colour shade is different, leaves are narrower. 

Forms generally only one flower on stem, rarely two. Filaments violet red. Leaves 

densely pubescent. 6.00 

560. Tulipa tarda from Kashka-Su, Kirghizstan 

Flowers white with large yellow centre, 5-7 from a bulb on 15 cm tall pedicels in rosette 

of greyish green leaves. This stock comes from Kashka-Su in Khirghizstan and 

has more colourful flowers. 5.00 

561. Tulipa tetraphylla 

As you can suggest from its name this species almost invariably has four leaves. Flowers 

when open are purest golden yellow with base, filaments, anthers of same colour. 

Only petals outside has greenish-pink shaded back. Flowers widely open in sun and 

outer tepals turn back forming an urn-shape. 10.00 

562. Tulipa turkestanica ‘DSHIZAK’ 

Produces 3 - 5 small yellow white flowers on short delicate stem. Very different from 

Dutch stock. Very nice and floriferous stock of this quite variable sp. which we collected 

on rocks near Dshizak, Nuratau mnt. range. 3.00 

53

563. Tulipa vvedenskyi 63/10 

I offer true T. vvedenskyi with very bright red flowers and usually undulated leaves. 

One of the most beautiful species, only 15 – 20 cm high and flowering medium late. 

The best form in my collection with very undulated leaf from Chatkal mnt. range, 

Uzbekistan. 8.00 

564. Tulipa wilsoniana 

Flowers comparatively large for length of stem, brilliant vermilion-red with pointed 

tips and small blackish-blue centre. Leaves undulated. Only 15 cm high. Something 

similar to T. linifolia, but leaves wider, shape of flower and petals colour is different, 

too. Collected near Arvaz in Kopet-Dag mountains. 3.00
