    it grows in small clumps in the beds and the lawns, and is spreading like proverbial wildfire

    I should be able to tell you what it is - but I can't!! Let's hope someone else can, or we'll have to wait until it flowers! I'm sure it's very pretty, as most bulbs are - but not when you've got too many!

    i think what i might do dendrobium, becuase its in about 20-30 different instances in the garden is take some of them out, and see what happens to the rest of them.

    BTW If anyone needs any advice on their art collection or art collecting in general, fire away!

    thanks for the help. I shall be back on soon i suspect!!

    It's possible these are bluebells.

    I think LesH has got it!
    They spread like fury, grow anywhere are easily lifted and in the south are probably 3 or 4 weeks ahead of up here.
