        I got these tulips Yellow Crown late last November when they were clearing varieties for £4.60, zero complaints :) they surely look unique even if I usually like my tulips to be more saturated in colour.

          Single *forget-me-not* in the wrong place.

          IMG_20240507_113625527.jpg

          Do I:
          1. Leave it?
          2. Pot it?
          3. Compost it?

          ** Edited to add: Sorry, of course, this is Birds-eye Speedwell. Clearly, forgotten. :rolleyespink:

            We have a new wood pigeon on the block, and he has been pecking at the above seedling.
            So, the decision has been taken out of my hands!!
            4. Allow it to be destroyed by the wood pigeon.
            Sigh!!

                    Man orchid growing in the front lawn. As a result of doing no mow summers for the last few years we now get 3 to 4 different orchids each summer. IMG_20240508_134604~2.jpg

                      For a few years I worked on an industrial estate in Larkfield Kent.
                      We noticed orchids growing in the grass verge by the road outside our workshop.

                        While down the garden this afternoon, I aimlessly walked into something. Glancing up, I saw this!!

                              @Scroggin Stunning! We have done No Mow May for many years but no sight of orchids. What a treasure to have.
