I bought some of Janis' Sanguinarias to extend the flower time in my garden. They must be thinking they are in Latvia because there is no sign of them

Lovely shots, particularly like the pulsatilla. They are so gorgeous at this time of year.

Spring is certainly around now, isn't it? All these great photos of flowers around Europe really do tell us that better days are ahead

Here is Pulsatilla vulgaris looking pretty good, and Anemone hortensis heldreichii which has been in flower for a month now.
Everything is growing away like mad now, why isn't the winter long enough to do all the winter jobs

Cliff,
Stunning photos as always. You can almost feel the fuzziness of those
Pulsatillas
.
Wim,
Great pics. I am so jealous of your
Fritillaria imperialis
, which are a trial for me to grow in my garden.

Cheers.

Nice little series Wim - your Soldanella looks great !!
Cliff,
Please stop taking these wonderful pix of your Pulsatilla !
I'm already growing 4 or 5 of them in my garden and if you continue like that I might end up with 15 or so...

Hi Wim,
A lovely series of photographs but the soldanella montana is outstanding. How are you growing it. It seems to be in a trough but the level of compost in the trough seems to be very low. Is this on purpose - to give the soldanella shelter or whatever?

Those Fritillaria imperialis have been in the same place since 10 years and they seem to enjoy it there. They are this early because they are in a sheltered spot against a south faced wall.
@ Paddy: That particular Soldanella was almost dying last year because it was in a very dry spot out in the garden. So I decided to take some better care of it: I put it in a new trough in the shade in a mix of 50% compost, 40% loam and 10% grit. The soil does seem to be a bit low but that's 1) because of the shape of the trough (see attached picture) and 2) because the compost settled.
