Dear All,

My Acis (Leucojum) autumnale is blooming again. I was trying to dry it out 
to divide it, but it was already shooting. Even so when I divided and 
replanted it, it didn't seem to be set back very much. I lost the ones I 
put in the ground, but they are increasing rapidly in containers. I added a 
picture of them blooming this year and a close-up.

Uli shared a really beautiful Oxalis he grows that originated in Ecuador. 
Today after days of fog and overcast and only a few hours of sunshine late 
in the day, we had sun all day and the plants he sent me burst into bloom. 
The new pictures on the wiki are from Uli, found under Oxalis sp.

Finally David Victor has identified a couple of the Paeonia that we saw in 
May blooming in his amazing garden. I was pleased that the two species are 
ones that Jim Waddick suggested might work in Mediterranean gardens: 
Paeonia mascula and Paeonia peregrina.
