Hi Spritz! I remembered last year visiting a large estate open as part of the Open Gardens Scheme. They had my favourite flower mass-planted at the edge of deciduous woodland, and it was very effective. Am thinking that I could plant up a small-scale version in our garden in Autumn. Would be nice to see Devon again, though........

 

This is Lovely :D

hello everyone i have got this plant in my garden it is growing in the shade in damp conditions and as andrewr said it should come with a health warning it is extremely invasive but easy to dig out, watch out for the white sap wich commes out off the stems when broken it can be irritating to some peoples skin so wear gloves.

 

lovely Spritz! - i bet Henry enjoys a good old sniff as you walk!

What a lovely boarder Spritz - can't wait to see the summer pic's!

 

Well said, Trees...

 

A bonus for your efforts Spritz.

 

Looking very good. I'm getting anxious to start planting my fern and hosta garden.

 

Not so boring now I can tell you.

 

This looks wonderful.

Although not what you wanted, I agree with Hel, this is beautiful and, at least it is in a planter so you can move it elsewhere.

 

Looking good. I like the Muscari.

This is what it's all about. Having control but letting nature do her thing.

 

Spritz although your colour scheme isn't what you originally wanted it still is a stunning display.Hel.xxx.

 

I couldn't agree more stunning picture.Hel.xxx.

The trough looks lovely, but what a shame the colours do not match the packaging. I would be inclined to take the packaging back along with the photos you have taken of the tulips in flower to the retail outlet that supplied them
(if its not too far away from you to travel) to see what they say.Someone, somewhere have mixed them up for sure.
If you are looking for a really dark purple tulip next season you might wish to try 'Queen of the night' They are velvety burgundy almost black.This year Ive mixed 'Queen of the night' with tulip 'Menton' which is a bright acid pink.They are in bud at the moment, but will post some photos later when they flower.
Best wishes,
Grenville.

 

I have grown tulip 'Arabian Night' and it's definitely not red. You've been 'done'. Shame it doesn't fit your colour scheme as the trough looks very effective.

I've just finished a border for Thursday's group with white, yellow and orange violas, euphorbia martinii and uncina (red-bronze grass) which I'm quite pleased with
