I ventured outside

5 comments

Thanks to Klahanie posting a pic of Eranthis flowering now, I ventured outside to see if mine had emerged. Nothing as yet in the front garden by the low front wall, should be E. cilicica. But, look in the back under the purple Azalea, a little clump of E. hyemalis, think earlier flowering than E. c.

Also several plants of Primula vulgaris

Lots of the silver leaved Cyclamen. Although the flowers have finished, the leaves shine even on a drizzly day. Lots of seedlings within the plant, not necessarily with silver leaves. I’ll try to lift them later and grow on those with nicely patterned leaves.

Arabis caucasica still flowering.

In the more open front garden in the flower borders a touch of colour from Red Chicory? At least I think that’s what it is as it came from an old packet of Mesculun seed. (French mixed salad seeds)
If anyone can confirm the Chicory, I would appreciate it.

There’s still a purple and a pink Penstemon flowering, but the wind is so strong I couldn’t get a sharp pic.
Time to go inside, I think.
