I've got five bulbs now :-)

I have never seen this shrub before. Lovely star shaped flowers.

Beautiful rose. Bet it smells great.

This is gorgeous. Wish mine was as nice as this.

I like the yellow. Nice and bright.

Nice photo.

Lovely photo.

I remember that storm so well - being further north we weren't affected so much - it took the lid off my dustbin (remember those?) lifted the bag of rubbish out and took it I know not where. The south and southeast had it really badly, dreadful damage.

In a class with Patrick Blanc's Athenaeum hotel in London!

Brilliant garage disguise - what a shame about the bonsai though, was it many years of lost work?

I can see what she meant its certainly well disguised..........

VERY BRAVE to drive the car out with the tree crashing down ! The Pyracantha and other planting look good :o)

well it does look as if it has grown there..lol
you were lucky to get yourself and the car out before it collapsed....

great photo...looks like you grew the shed..lol

love the berries on these,looks great there.

beautiful against the blue sky.

Gorgeous bulb and one of my favourites. I seem to be saying this a lot with many of the plants you have!

One of my favourites too. My mum used to have one by the back door and I loved it at all times of the year, even when dormant. That fat stem covered in next seasons buds was just as attractive to me.

I have just recently bought one from Beth Chatto's and guess where I am going to plant it?

I like your taste in plants.

And they make THE best cheese and onion sandwiches. Just roughly chop some leaves and put between cheese and bread. Done!

ps This looks like a double form of it if I am not mistaken?

Greater Celendine is not the same as the Celendine of spring Sandra. This is a Poppy relative and flowers mid late summer. One of my favourite plants. The sap really stains your skin orange though :-)

I have our native Rhodiola rosea. I saw this species recently on a trip to Beth Chatto's and saw it in the nursery. Nearly bought it too........damn!

I like this one too. We have it in a rock garden where I work and I like it for those leaves also. Good plant and quite underrated.

One of my favourite plants also. As you say, a little bit of a thug (vegetively and by seed!) but still has it's own charm and beauty.

When I was a kid, I used to have this species of Kalanchoe. It produced loads of baby plantlets all along the edges of it's leaves. Cute and a great first memory of growing something when young.
