Jane McGary wrote: Even more pleasing is a close relative of the autumn snowflake, Acis valentina (or valentinus; I'm not sure what gender has finally been decided on for Acis, which as a common noun is feminine in Greek, anyway). A. valentina is slightly more robust than A. autumnalis, and the cup-shaped flowers are pure white rather than flushed with pink at the base. Jane, if you ever have seeds, send some to the exchange! I’d love to expand on from Aciis autumnalis. Kathleen
