The double primrose is one Jilly sent me years ago, I keep dividing them and now have them all along the front of one border, they just keep flowering and flowering, super good doer! I think that daff was bought as Katie Heath Jasmine, but I have had other 'peachy pinks' over the years including one called pink pride. Some of the hybrid tulips are almost in flower, won't be long. A few more in bloom now.      |

I've forgotten the name of the flowers in the 1st pic Tig but I always think they're so striking. I tried to grow them years ago without any success, I'd planted them wrong. I think the red devils like them too don't they? Hyacinth "Kronos" Corydalis "Purple Stem" One of the double Narcissus, not sure of it's name.    |

They are fritillaria imperialis LG - red devils love all fritillarias as much as they love lilies, but so far I've not found any on them, but I keep checking!
Think your naricissus could be golden ducat, I have some but the heads are very heavy and they often snap the stems.

Thanks Tig, the head on mine is heavy too. In the borders, I love the shiny black berries from the Sarcococca.    |

Lovely pics Rosefriend and Ladygardener! Forsythia - will have to find a space in the garden for it.  Lunaria Rediviva - had to relocate this one - the ponies were stretching over to eat it!  My favourite daffodil - Feu de Joie  Magnolia Susan and Camellia Nicky Crisp    |

Oh yes Rosefriend, although not sure what Brexit will do to the transport of seeds etc.... might have to disguise it as something else!  |

Oh Jasmine, - I am so tired of the word Brexit...if people only know why it means for us expats...we are in a right mess on this side of the water...mind you the UK wanted to know what was in packets for a while - we are not asked up to now - I go for bath salts and gloves, depending on how the parcel feels... I have lost two loads of seeds this year...the only way is the birthday card trick - thin as possible.... |

'Knickers' Rosefriend - soon finished that conversation!!! My little sister went to a meeting at the Town Hall while she was out in Spain and they said that ex-pats in Spain at the moment would keep their health care and pension but folk like us who own property but don't live there would only be able to go out 2 or 3 months of the year. I don't really think anyone knows for sure - at least we will be back before the extended deadline. I'm sure I could think of something! |

Bet those stock smell great Tig. Jasmine I was really delighted to see the butterfly. Love that Magnolia and how those little yellow Primroses are naturalising. |
