I lost my Lewisia. What a gorgeous colour.

 

Not brill pics as I'm using my tablet...colours are so vibrant

 

Lovely stuff Upsy

 

@Verdun

 

Osteo Tresco Purple.....been in flower for weeks and off and on over the winter. Hardy here, prob hardier than many folk realise. Got a few clumps of it around

 

Wow!! Beautiful @Verdun

 

Another osteo here...eklonis. This too has been flowering for ages and will look better with increasing sun in the summer
Osteos do well here even the yellow Voltage Yellow which again is hardy over winter.

 

Wallflowers are still looking good

 

@CarolineL - nice Clianthus! I planted mine out in 2015 and lost it

It's so nice to see someone else growing this. One of my absolute favourites

 

You lost it in Portugal! Cripes!

 

The various Echeveria are coming along now. Most of these spent the winter on staging next to the house protected from wet weather by the eaves;

I'm having to keep this Echeveria hybrid apart as it has blackfly. Shame as it's a nice one that I suspect has some E.purposorum in it..........

 

@longk - thanks - the clianthus lives in a pot for now, but I had one in my previous front garden flowering quite happily for years in clayish soil.
How do you take such good photos? You even make blackfly look good!
@Upsydaisy - is the photo 115419 an allium or ornithogalum? It's nice! And the lime heuchera is gorgeous - is it Lime Ricky?
@Verdun those osteos are wonderful. I think I might have a bash now that I'm living somewhere warmer (but wetter).
