    I think it is safe to say that my cowslips are established! (There are also 3 or 4 smaller plants, with just a single flower-spike each...)
    I’m a happy bunny right now!!

            A bit of a cheat - these are in the cold greenhouse.

              Every year I go to RHS Malvern, and every year I tell myself that I don't need any more hostas, and every year I come back with at least one more :rolleyespink: This is 2019s purchase:

              This pot sits right by the back door; it's gone a bit bonkers :redface:, but it makes me smile every time I pass it, and the smell from the hyacinths drifting inside is incredible.

                    Yes the RHS show is on the Three Counties ground - it's well worth a visit if you're still nearish. I travel up from Bristol for it (though sadly not this year), it's big enough to be worth the journey but not so huge or overcrowded as to be overwhelming, and compact enough to get round the whole thing comfortably in a day.

                    (I'll collect my advertising commission from the organisers later :biggrin:)

                            Thank you KFF, you're lucky I keep all the cardboard with the pictures for the next time to buy them, it's called Beauty of Appledawn the first three pics are all the same variety, they can be variant yellow through to red.:smile:

                                I thought that I bought some yellow ones until you asked @KFF and then checking the pictures on the cardboard in the garage. :)
