Sorry for being the reason that nice Forum members find themselves guilty!  :(
It was my aim to prevent that a wrong spelling accumulates. Honestly!

One of my favorit annuals:
Veronica syriaca, a tiny plant that grows in enormous quantities to create Hugh carpets.
It grows in mountains with heavy soils in the upper Galilee and the Golan.

Diane, winter looks very nice at your house. Lovely patches of lovely plants.

Gerd, I promise you, while my spelling was wrong, I'm very happy that you drew attention to it - and in such a nice way too. I've found before that once a name is spelt wrongly, if not corrected right away, the wrong way is perpetuated, used time and time again.

 :) :) :) You are welcome, Lesley!
Otherwise I hope nobody will have a closer look at my mistakes in English grammar!

Just the common E hyemalis.  A low down camera shot might have made it look bigger than it is.

In line with what Lesley said, Miriam the blue of your Lupinus pilosus has a great zing to it.

Nothing to match the beauty of those veronicas, but these have opened in the last two days for me:

Everyone in the SRGC Belford Group were given a handful of bulbs to grow over the winter and bring in to the meeting for the plant table to mark the anniversary last year.  I got Iris 'Gordon' but sadly couldn't go to the meeting so I've taken its picture and will take that to the meeting in March  ;D

When I bought my one and only witch hazel many years ago I didnt realise that Hammamelis mollis could become so big and have sometimes wondered if it earnt its space. Wish I could post the scent of it for the last week or so
