LOVE Hepatica ! I'm very fortunate to have a wild patch of hepatica growing in the back woods. There's all shades !

Lovely closeup.! This shrub is certainly a keeper, so the the double form, 'plentiflora'. Recently I saw a kerria with variegated foliage for sell in a catalogue. What next..? !

They grow really well in quite shady areas - and the fragrance is superb. We're quite ruthless with the pruning - but they seem to cope.

There is also a newish cultivar called 'Red Majestic', reddish-purple leaves in spring, reddish-green in summer, plus nice autumn colour, well worth looking for.

That's the one we have in the icy scene but we didn't know its real name

Living in the southern counties, you seem to be much more advanced than us in the Midlands.

I love the smell of bluebells especially when there are masses of them! Are these native or spanish, never can tell?

Lovely photos and superb light.
They are gorgeous flowers and a sign that Spring is well and truly established.
Best wishes and happy gardening,
Grenville.

i found some of these the other day in Asda £1.99 each. i bought 3, i have never used them before so i thought i would give them a go - so if you need anymore, go to Asda, - there a pound cheaper!

Andrew, I have to admit, not heard that before, who's to stop you naming your own raised plant after yourself ? If this is the case, surely it can only apply to RHS registered plants ?
On question - Plants with names
An extra nugget for you - if you breed a new plant, you're not allowed to name it after yourself. Guess I'll just have to make friends with a plant breeder and get him/her to do all the work - lol

Great plants there Spritzhenry Violas are one of my favourites not only do they come in a huge range of colours they are so easy to take seeds from and you don't have to be Percy Thrower to grow them! Hel.xxx.
