I like these funny little striped umbrellas.

Is that 'Alan's Treat'?

[WSGR]

Mariette, Primrose Warburg is such a vigorous naturaliser! Nice cluster you have here! A feast for the eyes!

That´s just a find of mine, Alan. I´m afraid , a lot of similar snowdrops were collected these last years.

Thank You, WSGR, the yellows are my favourites, at least those with a yellow receptacle. They evoke a feeling of spring like no other snowdrops do.

[Bernadette]

Your garden looks beautiful Mariette, lovely healthy snowdrops and full of
interesting plants.

Gusty today but still plenty going on!

A forest of G. Lucy looking wonderful. This is bulking well in a number of garden positions.



Next some delightful companions, taking over just as the snowdrops go over. Miniature Narcissus from Anne Wright, becoming great collectables and super plants to boot.

First N. Wee Dote



Next N. Little Finn, named by Anne for her Grandson.

The Lucy’s are gorgeous - can’t wait till mine bulk up

[Tristan_He]

G. Lucy is lovely, I'm going to keep an eye out for that one!

Grim day today, windy and wet!

Two lovely yellows to the rescue.

First Monte Picente



Next Italian Yellow



Both these yellows attributed to Peter Erskine, found in Italy as the names suggest. I remember a discussion at one of the shows with a couple of experts, wondering if these two plants were in fact the same variety. Based on how they perform, I would suggest not. They are super yellows in any case.

Swaps & Spares bunker still doing a great job, a forest of red reserve labels for friends who have expressed an interest!

Lovely  Facebook post by  Rick Goodenough -

A bit of sun would be welcome here too! Reduced to photographing inside.
I love the moustache on Galadriel!. Fieldgate Tiffany has a lovely tissue paper texture.
Is this really Munchkin, and if so, why?
