    Count me in on not getting it too! I was positively apoplectic looking at what was in bloom in everyone else's gardens :redface:

    If it's photos of things to come when/if spring finally arrives then where are all your spring Iris?

        I have struggled to establish Erythronium dens-canis, seems a bit fussier than Pagoda.

              That's a good selection of Irises there Shiney for late Spring early Summer, but the Spring ones are the little ones like I. Reticulata, I. Danfordiae and their varieties. I've got some just coming into bud.

                @Anthony Rogers Quite correct. I forgot to look through some of my early Spring photos. I'll look out some more soon but here are a few to be getting on with :)
