    They do much better in the ground if you have a place for it. :blue thumb:

      Thanks. I'll have to think where I can plant it.

      @Michael Hewett Our Kojo has just started to blossom. It does well in the ground. This isn't a good photo as I grabbed it quickly as it was drizzling. Same with all the others :rolleyespink:

      These Hellebores are invaders that have self seeded in the Cyclamen bed

        That's wonderful. I must find somewhere suitable for mine.

          It was still drizzling (if it stopped I would have been gardening instead of trying to take photos :heehee:)

          The Rosemary flowers don't look much good in this light but they look good in real life

          We have a few areas of Ophiopogon but I haven't had a chance to tidy them up and weed yet. This is the least messy :rolleyespink: but need to get that Allium out pretty sharpish.

          I've spotted a new wild Bee Orchid in the lawn (mainly moss and weeds - but it's green)

          This Heather was covered in bees and they don't let drizzle put them off

          I've never understood why they call these Violets :scratch:

                            I have discovered it even dies back here (right to the soil) in the Winter (although we really don't have a Winter as such).

                            First bloom on Protea 'TANGO" (Leucospermum)Orange Pincushion ...
