Very beautiful blooms Uli, thank you for sharing the delight.

I must admit that I also like the cacti & geophytes  combination!



I attach my very 1st Narcissus of the season, the 2nd clone of N. elegans.
A dozen more are about to bloom in the days to come, I am very excited!

Greetings from Berlin,
Vlad


Drizzling warm rain, perfect for autumn flowering bulbs.
