Cliff,
I have never seen an Adonis bud like that. Really a new angle.

A few close-ups from the garden this morning - not sunny here but certainly not a bad day.
Thlaspi close
Cliff,
The Thlaspi, what is it. Alpestre??

Sorry Gote ... Thlaspi densiflorum.

Cliff I looked at your photo of the Primula denticulata and thought "Cliff isnt a plant/Primula snob"

I usually have so little in flower, Mark that I can't afford the luxury of being a plant snob ...

Pulsatilla vernalis survive here without any form of care or attention - no cover at any time and all the precipitation that these moors can absorb.

Before vine weevils killed them I used to grow P. denticulata and the comments were always the same "you grow drum stick Primulas!" Yes, and? ...

Well, it has got to 12 noon on 1st April (in this part of the world anyway) and, even though seven people viewed the image of Primula notethedatei on this page, nobody raised an eyebrow or was it simply too low-brow or too obvious?   ??? :)
Apologies to those of you in further climes who haven't even got out of bed yet!
Well it was all over here before you were out of yours! Tough when you have to explain the jokes eh?

This is my G. 'Mighty Atom' which may not be 100% correct but falls within the Group.

Still not easy to be 100% sure from the angle of your latest pic of your 'Mighty Atom', Ian. I could be wrong and it might just be the camera angle making the mark look thin. It'll be interesting to hear what Rod Leeds says about it.

I make wrong guesses all the time and I am not sorry. :)
