    Yes, it's another plant that they changed the name of! :mute: :wallbanging:

    It's now called Pseudofumaria lutea instead of Corydalis lutea but I still call it Corydalis as well as Marley :thumbsup:. I like the plant and the leaves are pretty and look like a cross between a fern and Aquilegia leaves. :)

          Our local bluebells aren't going to get any better than this

          Apart from another couple of dog walkers we had the entire nature reserve to ourselves.

              Sadly they do keep sending up new growth but they only live for about 15 yrs max and then they keel over with the Elm Disease @Jiffy ..:sad:
