              You've taken some great shots there, Simbad:thumbsup::snork: They show off the plants really well and the colours and textures really lend atmosphere to the pics.:hapfeet:

              Elephant Garlic has put up a big flower spike. Which I will be having for my dinner tomorrow.

                Thank you very much, Armandii. I would like to have them. How do we go about doing this?

                :oopss: Sorry if I seem rather cheeky and pushy. When one is facing temptation one's normal behaviour gets thrown out of the window. ;)

                That be Corydalis. Once you've got one they grow everywhere! They self-seed as readily as forget-me-nots.

                  Didn't think that for a moment!! Members often send plants and seeds to one and another, it's part of the spirit of GC and beng a gardener.:heehee::hapfeet:


                  That's easy, in the Autumn when the growth of the Solomon's Seal has died down somewhat I will dig up a few rhizomes of those, plus the False Solomon's Seal [which has the same leaves but carries a white tuft of flowers. It is also slightly more difficult to find in the ground so I might pot one or two up for you while still in growth.] I'll keep a check on the Camassia to see if it sets seeds and I will let you know on that score. I can then send them altogether to you.:coffee::snork:

                    Agree with every word! That and Uvularia are two of the spring highlights for me!

                      Jenny namaste - Thanks for the photos. I'm going to pot mine on for a year as the spot that I have in mind is also plagued by ground elder!
