Long time ago I had an idea about naturalizing N. bulbocodium in Lithuania and got from different sources N. bulbocodium seeds and plants. Since that time I have opinion that our climate is not good for this Mediterranean plants with winter leaves and almost all died in the end clones except one exclusively hardy in outdoors which pass easily our strong winter and grows witout any problems here. Sorry I did not keep a label informed about the origin.
An endemic of Armenia. Collected on the highland meadous of Aragats mt. The plants are propagated well with stolones the most astonished I have seen. Every one looks like a thread passed freely under first scale of the bulb with two young bulbs on the ends. Spring flowering. This plant unknown in gardens and nurseries.
From Turkey, Altinyaila. A beautiful and large ornithogalum with short stem umbel. Very wide dark green leaves appear in autumn and passed winter well up to now. Spring flowering.

Ornithogalum platyphyllum
It could be compared with O. lanceolatum: it has the same beautiful wide leaves and large flowers in umbel on short stem which goes increasing and can reach 20 cm tall in the end. The good merit is that the plants have not winter leaves. They flower later then O. lanceolatum.

Ornithogalum ponticum SOCHI
W.N. Caucasus. Dense spike 60 cm high. Flowering in midsummer.
Always flowers of different polygonatums have small and very small flowers and this dissonance of course reduces an impression. P. buschianum is a lucky exclusion. Relatively small stem 30 cm only has some white flowers 3,5 cm and more long. They grow in wild in Crimea on border of forests. So they are not fully forest plants and need more sun.

SANGUINARIA
286
Sanguinaria canadensis MULTIPLEX
For damp ground and shady places in gardens. The tubers do not like a dry keeping and must be planted at once after receiving.
Armenia. In contradistinction with S. sibirica grown in the same region everywhere in forests S. armena is a plant of highland meadous and rarely you can meet it below then 2000 m. The flowers (always single on every stem) have incredible striking blue coloring like blue gentiana flowers. When I saw first time a group of flowering S. armena near snow it looked like a spot of a blue painting spilled on snow. My favourite among scillas!

Even small size of plants can not reduce a big impresion when you are seeing these plants flowering because of fluorescent lemon colour of the flowers. Full sun and good drainage is needed.

Tulipa sosnowskyi
South East of Armenia. Before was offered as Tulipa florenskyi, but after my expedition in 2011 year I am inclined to opinion that it is Tulipa sosnowskyi. These both species are very alike. True T. florenskyi was found by me in Armenia near Kharchavan, extreme South of Armenia, grown in more dry condition then Tulipa sosnowskyi. In the wild they are small plants 20 cm only.
