Isn't that about the clearest yellow you have ever seen? Great picture.

Members' notes...
Lovely in the spring with the bulbs.
Fra Nr. Lyndelse april 08
Planted spring 08 west border rear garden
Given by my mother in 2006. Unfortunately not many of the plants from my parent's garden tend to do well here. I don't know whether it's because they have much greener fingers, are more trigger-happy with pest control or whether it's because they are in a seaside location on free-draining soil and I'm on London clay. Either way, the doronicum is still around, but has been rather lacklustre and I have a sneaking suspicion it's not going to last much longer. It doesn't help that this is snail central HQ, of course - my garden survivors are generally snailproof.

Although the book says this is easy, the author obviousy doesn't have MY snails. They absolutely love it and I've never managed to keep a plant for more than two weeks :-(
