identify these flowers
I saw these flowers a couple of days ago in the Dean Garnier gardens
next to Winchester cathedral. Please can someone help me identify them and if you can provide a url reference about them that is even better.. The first one looks a bit like Star of Bethlehem - but the front of the petals is slightly yellow and the back tinged with pink. http://www.mrtlfrm.demon.co.uk/garden/deang01.jpg The second looks a bit like the Cosmos family, but I can find a picture of a Cosmos that looks like it. http://www.mrtlfrm.demon.co.uk/garden/deang02.JPG I don't know where those capital letters "JPG" crept in so watch out if you type it. Thanks in advance. -- Ellis Morgan |

The first one looks a bit like an Ipheion, but the colour is unusual.
The other pic is Pulsatilla (Pasque Flower) as others have pointed out. R. "Ellis Morgan" wrote in message ...

The message
from Ellis Morgan contains these words: /clip/ The second looks a bit like the Cosmos family, but I can find a picture of a Cosmos that looks like it. http://www.mrtlfrm.demon.co.uk/garden/deang02.JPG I don't know where those capital letters "JPG" crept in so watch out if you type it.

Try googling a few of the well-known bulb suppliers: Bloms, Avon, Broadleigh, Parkers, ... loads more, but I can't call them to mind just now. We all seem to agree on the second flower. It's the Pasque Flower, Pulsatilla vulgaris. Spider |

Many thanks to everyone for all your replies. There can be no doubt you are all right about the pasque flower, it is interesting that it grows wild on chalklands in the south of England. I have looked at several pictures of tulipa clusiana, none of them were identical to the one in my photo, but the similarities were enough to make me think I could drop your question mark after "variety of". Here is a picture from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulipa_clusiana and here is part of my picture shown next to it http://www.mrtlfrm.demon.co.uk/garden/compare.jpg -- Ellis Morgan |
