We are grateful for the kind contribution from Peter Watts’ family to MPG to support a full bursary. Melvyn Jope was instrumental in helping in the distribution of Peter’s extensive plant collection and books from his comprehensive library. Peter’s family were supportive of the suggestion that part of the proceeds of sale of books should go to the MPG bursary fund to honour Peter’s memory. Peter was a keen and very knowledgeable horticulturist with a special interest in, among other plants cyclamen and bulbous plants. He was well known as the person that found Crocus wattiorum in its natural environment in Tahtali Dagi Turkey. The picture is a pale yellow form of Sternbergia lutea from his collection.
