This hybrid Hellebore has been flowering all month and still looks good.

Stunning scenes of those wonderful little bulbs, all naturalized to perfection. A great pleasure to see them John, thanks very much.

Not easy here in Devon either Andre. I have killed one many times.

This plant resurrects David?  :D Or do you mean you've killed many plants one time? :-\

Peculiarly, Tony,

Iris unguicularis flowers with great ease here though never gets to make a great display. This is partly because it flowers during the most inclement months of the year and are victim to wind, rain and frost. Also, they are generally picked immediately while still in bud and brought into the house for our enjoyment. This year there has been a continuous flowering since October and are still flowering as I write. I have the usual species, I. unguicularis and the forms 'Walter Butt' and an Irish cultivar named 'Kilbroney Marble'.

Iris lazica is one I must try, lovely blue.

I've never seen this Paddy.  Is it a good form?
