Thank you for posting such an excellent selection.

I am always afraid of putting Allium in the ground in case they prove invasive thugs - are your 2 Allium well behaved?

Particularly like the Digitalis parviflorum and the Jasione

Glad you liked the plants. Both alliums are well-behaved. I wish they weren't, esp. A. splendens which is desperately slow to increase for me. Will try seed propagating (if any) this year. Here is another picture of Jasione (now the whole plant).

just got back from France to find the first colchicums in flower,and I have not started my repotting yet.

I have called it sp. because I am sure it will have had a new name since the last time I looked.

Best place for it Kristl. It looks great in that container. What is it? A sort of tarnished copper bucket or something? The colour is exactly right for the campanula.

Tony, your Colchicum looks like one I have from Franz H.: Colchicum parnassicum
Mine also have started flowering last week!
Hope you had a great time in France!

One that may not be common in the north of the UK may be of interest...Magnolia macrophylla. Leaves can be a meter long in woodland conditions, flowers 10-12" across. Fragrance delicious. In bloom near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Flower shot - a day too late.

It's actually tin, Lesley, with small brass handles and trim at bottom. Not unlike tin maple syrup "buckets" one can buy in these parts. Quite tall (well over two feet) so it can even hold the long ranches of woody species (forced Forsythia, etc). I have quite a few of them and they are always full of something that I am trying to eradicate in the garden- this way I at least stop the self-sowing, while I work on the vegetative spread.

Thomas thanks for the id. France (Mt. Blanc)was good with masses of orchids which were wonderful but it was a very poor area for alpines which is perhaps why it has never been written up in the journals and I have not found anybody else who has been there looking at flowers.
