Earlier in this thread Jane McGary mentioned Romulea bulbocodium 'Knightshayes' and I thought I might add a little background information. 'Knightshayes' refers to Knightshayes Court and Gardens here in the county of Devon in the far south west of England. The house and the gardens are managed by our National Trust and are open to visitors at most times of the year. Indeed my wife and I visited the gardens today, unfortunately minus camera!! Narcissi were in full splendour with drifts of N. obvillaris; banks of N. cyclamineus underplanted with Chionodoxa; blue and white Scillas; some early Rhododendrons and Magnolias. More information on Knightshayes from the link below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knightshayes_Court/ Romulea is not the only genus bearing a 'Knightshayes' as there is an Erythronium 'Knightshayes Pink' thought to be either a hybrid or form of E. revolutum. Knightshayes does have another Romulea contact in that the gardens have a patch of England's only indigenous (I think!) Romulea, columnae, which is also found on sand dunes close to my home. I have to say that having visited Knightshayes many times I have seen neither of the two Romulea species. I had meant to track down one of the gardeners on todays visit to ask further but they proved to be invisible and much like buses, when you don't need one there are many, they were en masse as we were in the car leaving the property. Some pictures of a visit we made to Knightshayes in April 2008 can be seen here including one of Erythronium 'Knightshayes Pink'. It's a beautiful place. http://srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php/… David Nicholson in Devon, UK Zone 9b
