a cross section would be helpful. I suggest no fruits but bulbils or galls...?

Hi forum hardcore members, just a question: is the book in your stores available and has anyone got it?

Hi, p 32 fig 1: the Maltese spider orchid!
Regards, HC

Hi together! After a long pregnance (!) the baby is borne and available in Malta`s bookstores soon. Just ask for it in a bookstore and they can order it from the distributor Sierra Books. Or you can order it from the Margraf publisher in Weikersheim, easiest possibly via an email: weckbach@margraf ...

2 ornamentals and 1 wild plant- Good luck!

wow MWP- you became an expert for ornamentals without my new book!
This one is not common in Malta, and the pic is from San Anton in front of the wall

family starts with an S, and the fruit is 3-parted

Hello Glimbo,
thank you very much for the flowers (as we say in german language as compliments)!
Regards,
HC

yes, I confirm Pine, possibly the ssp subspathaceus

I go for a 1-week-vacation and you may find out within this time my new quiz... it is an ornamental from Malta
Sorry about the ugly letters but the pic is still needed for another contribution

Aristolochiaceae?

he he jackpot-you should know these ugly fruits from your socks and shoes during field trips, even in Germany (also I remember that you had it in flower in your quiz months ago)

Looks like A. subhirsutum but could also be Nothoscordum borbonicum (p 42 no 2)- did you make the pics in spring?

ok MWP: L junc OR L. hyssop

looks similar to Allium sphaerocephalon but for identification in the damned Alliums ( ) you need the leaves, bracts etc- otherwise to difficult...

Beta vulgaris ssp maritima

Is each a single flower?

yes, I confirm MWP
