I think I'm recovering.

Sorry Diane, you are quite misguided in this assumption ;D ;D

Well, you're right. The White Fever is abating only somewhat - now
I am hovering over the dead flowers to see if my pollinating "took".

Yes, Kathrine, Dentaria and Cardamine often refer to the same plants.
I'm not sure which name I prefer.  The Cardamine that grows best for
me is a little weed that I eat for salad  - it tastes like watercress.

I followed the link Maggi gave, and am very pleased to see the Corydalis
is good in dry shade.  That's what I have most of.

All lovely, Michael. Another stunning primula hybrid (your own, I assume) and that Cyclamen creticum is fantastic.   8)

Thanks Martin, there are a few coming into flower now  The storm did not help them much as most of them are outside just covered on top

I love those hybrids with a very subtle colour range, in reply no 101. I've had something similar using Pr. x pubescens `Rufus.'

'Campbell's Tear' is a fine plant Michael but why were you tearful? Looks like one for great joy, to me.
