The principal reason for this web site is to record and illustrate the results of my attempts to create new hybrids and varietal crosses within three of my favourite genera (Fritillaria, Corydalis and Primula) over the past 15 or so years.
The section on Pleione is an exception since none of these were created by me, and so none have the 'Lentune' label. I simply don't have the wherewithal to propagate orchids from seed! I include them only because I find them irresistible and extremely photogenic. My collection of plants (and of photos) just keeps expanding!
The following are the main plant groups. See the menu structure at top/right for more detailed navigation.
Fritillaria Pleione Corydalis Primula
'Lentune' is the name of our village (Kirklevington) as recorded in the Doomsday book. Before the church was built it was simply Levington = Leven town = the town on the river Leven = Lentune. Or so the village history society reckon (www.kirkcommunity.co.uk/history)!
