            I must work on having a spring garden, I have a few Daffs and some of the Snakeshead. I do have some self seeded Nigella about to come into flower, lovely big buds at the mo!

              I am heavily reliant on bulbs for spring colour which is no bad thing as they are on the whole reliable.

                What is this please? I like it too! I also like the Frits after seeing yours. Must get some for next spring especially F. persica. Love it! :thumbsup:

                  I have two or three more species to come yet. Take care planting them out, especially the big ones like F.persica as they are prone to rot.

                    @Fern4 - sorry, I missed the question about the wall weed! I've no idea what it is, although I think that it begins with E.

                      No problem.....I thought maybe it was Aubretia. Does anyone else know what the pink flowering plant is in post #1 that longk calls "wall weed"? :)

                          Only the blues underway in my garden at the moment.

                            I do! It's Aubretia (which starts with an A, and that is like an E but different)!!:hapfeet:
