        Hi Logan, the only buds that keep opening are the leaf ones...it matured before then the leaves totally dropped off that's why I cut it back :dunno:

          They were originally alliums, then Nectaroscordum and are now back to alliums. :doh:

          @ARMANDII is tight, we do tend to have quite a few and we sell about 100 each open day. The ones that are potted up ready for sale have all died back already :scratch: but the ones in the garden are only just opening.

          The Tripledale are slightly more compact in the flower (giving a rounder effect) than the siculum. The RHS sell a bulb (presumably flowering in a pot) for £4.99. We sell about three, in flower and dug out of the garden for about £1.50 :noidea: :)

            Kristen and I visited Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park on Monday. The Azaleas were spectacular. :blue thumb:

                    These were sent to me by @noisette. I decided to let them "down" gently by keeping them in my unheated greenhouse over winter as they had been sent to me from France. @ARMANDII was lucky to get these gorgeous Iris too. The ones flowering are only a few of what noisette kindly sent us.

                            The hybrid Rhododendrons and Azaleas are just getting going post the species ones I have, being finished, The last photo is of a Fothergilla. Maybe not that exciting in flower but does have a pleasant scent when flowering BUT it is absolutely stunning come autumn when it is a blaze of reds oranges yellow and purple.One of the finest autumn colouring shrubs.
