It looks like spring is finally coming to you, but I see that it is supposed to still be a little chilly. I had thought of growing these (from seed), and I still might - it would look good in my woods.

Yes Wylie at last :-) it has been a bit of a cold wind today but fairly sunny so it hasn't stopped me getting in the garden.
I got some seed for a white one last autumn and sowed them in the unheated greenhouse no sign of life yet, probably me being impatient again lol, think I remember reading they take a while to germinate, they would look good in your wood these are planted near the entrance to mine :-)

Mine are flowering as well Kathy I have 3 plants all in different places I must see when it's the best time to dig them up and put them together !

You haven't any of the horrible slugs we have been warned about have you Kathy , apparently they are eating whole crops in fields and gardens they even eat small dead animals , I took a pot out of a chimney pot this morning to replant it and there were some huge slugs in the bottom I don't know if they are the killer spanish slugs or not they advise you to put them in a bucket with salt water ,that was a job for OH !!!

Uuurgh I haven't heard about them Amy sound pretty nasty I'll have my salt bucket at the ready :-), haven't seen many slugs this year yet except in the compost bin some pretty big ones in there, mind you we've not had much rain here.
