              Its surprising how some flowers seem to glow during twilight.

                Not worth photos really, but I'm happy to see a few of my drowned cyclamen coming back. Last year's newly planted hebe is looking very good, the Welsh poppies are budding, and best of all my blue woody salvia (I forget what breed, lol!) that I thought was a gonner, is showing tiny green sproutings!

                    Hello @Michael Hewett, I wonder if your Narcissus is N. Poeticus, or Pheasant’s eye. They are highly scented so that could be a clue!

                      That name rings a bell, it's probably the right one. Thank you :smile:

                          They’re beautiful, @Bluejayway. I shall put them on my wish list for next year. No new tulips this year, but the previously planted ones still give a reasonable show.
