Hi, Sis. It looks like you guys had a nice outing and that the weather was kind to you.

The lovely little blue flowers beneath the Aconite appear to be Chionodoxa luciliae (Glory of the Snow) and the other blue one above your mossy stone is Hepatica transsilvanica, both of which I had in Bucks.

I assume the Zypern Grass is the Cyperus alternifolius, which both you and I have. Saw a nice C papyrus at Pina's today ... was tempted but resisted ... on it at least, but failed miserably on other things. :( :D

 

Thanks, Sis, and I have edited the names in.

Glory of the Snow - what a lovely name! We have some in the garden too and I am trying to remember some other name you told me once for them.

That other was a stunning blue and it was gorgeous. I would like to have some here in the garden.

Yes, to the Zypern Grass. I have 4 lots going here, one still has to be planted.
