The northeastern is blowing tonight and that makes it almost impossible to ceep the warmth in the house. This house is extra isolated but that doesn´t help much or so it feels anyway. It´s over freezingpoint outside and it seemes we are going to get a green Christmas here in southern Sweden. But one never knows, they have had wrong many times in the weatherforcast this autumn. But at the moment I don´t care about the weather, I´m only caring about the three week long vacation I´m going to have :-)

Arisaema amurensis. The hardiest of the Arisaemas and one of the few we can grow outside in Sweden. All the flowers I showed yesterday and today are plants I have in my woodland.

A seedcataloug from the botanical garden of Gothenburg came today. It was filled whiyh exiting seedoffers and I´ve just browsed thru it. My special intrest is plants from northern America and eastern Asia. When it comes to trees I better look at Gardesns North, but they had seeds to a cypress from western North Amerika (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis) that I´m going to buy. Outhervise it´s mostley Trilliumseeds I want to buy. But Trilliums are a bit kranky and it can take a long time until they germinate. Perhaps I buy seeds from the Fawn Lily (Erythronium revolutum) a beautiful littele flower.

Soldanella alpina. Not the best of photos but they are really tiny. This one loves acid soil.

I´m feeling a bit sour in my throat today. So I´m getting a cold for the fith time this autumn/winter. Getting a bit boored whith that now. My joints are getting stale and painful also so it´s good that the vacation is comming now. I have Psoriasis arthritis and when that hits it´s kind of tough sometimes. But as long it doesn´t places it self in my spine it´s not that bad. There are things one can get that´s much worse.

Trillium erectum. So beautiful but unfortunally it wont show its flower unless one lifts it.

Now I´m going to put more wood in the fire, make a pot of Tea and then read thru the seedlist again :-)
Have a nice day!

Anemone ranunculoides. My absolute favourit amongs the anemones. Flowers early every spring.

I want to say hello to Alicemary also! Thanks for reading my blog!! I can´t see that You have one of Your own, but if You´re starting to wright one, please tell me!

Christer.
