[Mike Ireland]

Lots of plants now coming into flower,
Corydalis malkensis which is seeding all around the garden
Saxifraga in trough
Saxifraga in tufa
Saxifraga & Pulsatilla vulgaris in tufa
Haquetia epipactis Thor

[David Nicholson]

Lovely Mike. My Corydalis malkensis doesn't seem to seed around at all and I've had the plant for around three years.

All wonderful plants.  The corydalis is a beauty, such a pure white.

[Anne Repnow]

I am rather pleased with my Stachyurus sinensis. I hope it won't fall prey to a bad winter in the future...

Lovely Mike. My Corydalis malkensis doesn't seem to seed around at all and I've had the plant for around three years.

Thanks both.
David the corydalis seed themselves all over the garden without my help, perhaps the birds do it for me.
Here are two more seedlings from the garden.

[Giles]

Magnolia campbellii 'Charles Raffill'
Prunus mume 'Beni-shidore'
Self sown primroses (everywhere)

I have a bluebell in flower in the front garden. At least two weeks earlier than usual. Frit. meleagris is in bud in the front "lawn" as well.

[Leena]

You all have such a lot of beautiful plants flowering right now, here the snowdrops and early crocuses and early Hellebores are the only ones.
So that is why I value the colourful leaves of Tiarellas or Heucheras, behind G.nivalis 'Flore Pleno' is Tiarella 'Tiger Stripe' in it's winter colour.

Yes Leena, there's so much in flower even here in Romania. I wonder if I'm gonna have something blooming in June still

A new one for me... Euphorbia myrsinites... in bloom. I also got some seeds in the exchange so I am germinating them now.
My 3-4 Xanthoceras shrubs are in bud. But I'm not sure it's just leaves or I will have some flowers for the first time.
The Fritillaria persica bulb I planted last fall is also gonna bloom soon.
Corydalis is looking good
I love the way Rhubarb looks like when it starts growing

And some spring bulbs

Great troughs, Kevin - and well-flowered Saxes.  Really like those   

[astragalus]

Such beautifully planted and flowering troughs.  Sax.'Peach Melba' looks good enough to eat!
