378. Fritillaria thunbergii<br />

This <strong>species</strong> usually has been misnamed <strong>and</strong> offered as F. verticillata. Flowers<br />

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

with tendrils. Abundantly blooming stock. 4.00<br />

379. Fritillaria unibracteata<br />

Nice small <strong>species</strong> <strong>from</strong> China with small purplish brown campanullate flower on<br />

20 cm tall stem. Looks very similar to F. regelii although <strong>from</strong> the last I saw only<br />

drawn illustration. Naturally very small bulbs. 15.00<br />

380. Fritillaria verticillata ‘URDZHAR’<br />

Very beautiful form of this quite variable <strong>species</strong> with straight bell shaped flowers.<br />

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

similar to F. tortifolia <strong>from</strong> China, but flowers are pure white, in Chinese samples<br />

colour is distinctly pinkish. 20.00<br />

38<strong>1.</strong> Fritillaria whitallii<br />

Flowers broad campanulate nicely green <strong>and</strong> brown chequered <strong>and</strong> quite variable<br />

within the same population. This stock is coming <strong>from</strong> surroundings of Akseki in<br />

S Turkey, is very vigorous <strong>and</strong> good grower here. 7.00<br />

GALANTHUS<br />

For EU # 382; outside EU # 60<strong>1.</strong> Galanthus kemulariae<br />

My stock was collected just on locus classicus near walls of monastery of St. John<br />

of Georgia, Zedazeni, National park Saguramo, where it makes large clumps in deep<br />

woodl<strong>and</strong> on very steep slopes. Regardless of its taxonomical status (it was included<br />

between synonyms of G. lagodechianus by Aaron Davis) offered plants are distinct<br />

<strong>and</strong> comes <strong>from</strong> authentic stock. 15.00<br />

For EU # 383; outside EU # 602. Galanthus koenianus<br />

One of the most unusual <strong>and</strong> really the rarest of snowdrops grown only in very few NEW<br />

specialists collections <strong>and</strong> I couldn’t find any offer of it. Having only 5 bulbs to offer<br />

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

which allows easy to separate it <strong>from</strong> all other snowdrops is distinctly lengthways<br />

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

100.00<br />

For EU # 384; outside EU # 603. Galanthus nivalis ‘POCULI PERFECT’<br />

Absolute gorgeous novelty - a must for every galanthophile with absolutely perfect<br />

flowers of “poculiformis” shape (where inner petals are of same size <strong>and</strong> shape as<br />

outer) but flower segments are purest white <strong>and</strong> wider than in usually offered forms.<br />

Perfect selection <strong>from</strong> wild plants in Czech Republic. 25.00<br />

For EU # 385; outside EU # 604. Galanthus snogerupii<br />

Regarded by some as sub<strong>species</strong> of G. ikariae, this comes <strong>from</strong> very uniform popula- NEW<br />

tion on Naxos Isl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> looks quite different <strong>from</strong> those grown by me as type G.<br />

ikariae. Leaves are soft green which separates this one <strong>from</strong> type sub<strong>species</strong>. Very<br />

rarely offered <strong>and</strong> only few to sale.<br />

30.00<br />

GERANIUM<br />

386. Geranium charlesii NURATAU<br />

Very distinct <strong>and</strong> undoubtedly one of the best tuberous geraniums, very floriferous,<br />

compact, completely covered with pinkish purple flowers. It flowers much earlier than<br />

other tuberous geraniums. I recommend annual lifting to provide dry summer rest.<br />

From Nuratau mountains, Uzbekistan. 15.00<br />

387. Geranium charlesii punctata<br />

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

varietal name. Foliage slightly divided but with very prominent deep reddish purple<br />

markings - spots <strong>and</strong> lines. Flowers pinkish-purple. (9805) 15.00
