    Hi @Perki Hubby as looked at the front ones closely and the actual stems are splitting open...a call to the garden centre is needed for march/april.

    I thought if I bagged the back ones if that would help :scratch:

      I've just got a second red Hamamelis from my Market Trader friends as it's been requested for another friend. This time, though, my Market Trader friends couldn't get H."Rubin" but managed to get H."Diane". To be honest, I've compared both varieties of flowers and there's very little difference except, perhaps, the petals on "Diane" might be a smidgen longer:doh:, and the scent of both is just glorious.:hapfeet::hapydancsmil::snorky:

          "H" is for Hamamalis, Gail, ...........so H."Rubin" and H."Diane", is just an abbreviation for Hamamelis "Rubin" and Hamamelis "Diane". Gardeners often write names of varieties of plants by just quoting the first letter of the name of the plant.......such as Clematis"Montana" abbreviating it to C. "Montana":coffee::snorky:

                    When you come to think and it's true, wisdom besides knowledge as nothing to do with school, it's the ability to pick up on things daily..which you've just taught me :help:

                          Hamamellis in every garden if possible I think....Mollis Pallida is my favourite and here has been flowering for a few weeks. :)

                          Recent purchases? Added a couple of Thalictrum, viz., Elin and Splendide White, a couple of linarias, Pink Kisses and Dial Park, more Regale lilies (can never have enough of them for scent in June and July), more snowdrops in the green and seeds of hordeum jubatum and linum perenne.
