      Erysimum Bowles Mauve can flower for most of the year but can suddenly die off, a great plant for Bees and Butterflies.:dbgrtmb:

        Thanks, only bought it last year on the recommendations from what seemed like every man and his dog!
        Must admit it's a good do-er
        I'll see how it performs next year, it needs moving really, so if it fails, so be it I've had my money's worth:dbgrtmb:

        Hi Loki, it's was to grow from cuttings so if you can keep it alive for another month or so you can propagate it just in case you lose it.

              Phoenix roebelenii (pygmy date palm) is looking good in the centre of my town. Taken 2 days ago.

                        Are the Snowdrops "special" ones rather than the usual varieties as their leaves look much wider than both my singles and doubles? Lovely photos and Happy Birthday.

                            They are Galanthus elwesii monostictus. they are much larger than typical snowdrops and the foliage is silvery grey green. They spread quite happily with me.
