                you are correct "M" 2nd year flowering :thumbsup: they will get bigger as the week goes on , the birds loved the seedpods they produced looked like a big green conker , I have potted some up last Autumn and another member on here, as its a two year process root 1st year then stalk and leaf the 2nd year ... worth a try you never know I will do the same this Autumn if they set seed.

                thank you

                            Everyone seems to have their gardens so much ahead of ours. Most of our lilacs are only still in bud but, when I take my camera round, I'll check all of them to see if they have started flowering. Nothing on the Wisteria yet, nor the irises.

                            But we do have lots of forget-me-nots :yahoo:
