I'd call this one Burgundy, but we don't have a burgundy club!  |

Our crocuses are finishing now but these little cluster still looks nice:  And every year I'm surprised at how early this azalea flowers. The whole shrub is covered in delicate flowers and it looks so pretty:  |

It does indeed look pretty Plocket and so are those crocus, it's a pity they only last such a short time. |

Rf you have lots of lovely colour in your garden now. That's a really colourful and striking stripy plant there and obviously very hardy now what is it I wonder.

I was afraid that someone would ask the name LG - I am terrible with names, I am afraid. It could be a Carex - there is a white and green one as well. Perhaps someone else knows.

It looks like carex Evergold? It is amazing that a couple of weeks back you were envious of the UK gardeners getting spring colour - you have really caught up and flown past us RF - bit of a German gardening grand prix x Tig |

Nice tig. I've got the first one - forgot it's name - but I'm worried about my frits though. I still haven't seen signs of new growth from any of them yet. I know the weather has been kind of weird over the past few weeks, but they should be showing new growth by now. worried-looking-smiley.

Post by Tig on Apr 8, 2009 15:11:05 GMT
I have these down as meleagris as well - Snakes Head Fritillary (that is what it said on the packet  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritillaria_meleagrisI am keeping a watch out for lily beetles though as they have munched them in previous years!! Sods  Thanks for the nom RF (I grew those polyanths from seed you know  ) x Tig |

Now that you mention the name, Tig - the Snakes Head part - I'm pretty sure that was the name on the package I bought, except I bought them as small corms. I wonder where the Wikepedia folks got their names and pictures from.

This is my one purple aquilegia I bought in the bargain bin of B & Q for 40p. The first pic was taken a few days before the 2nd one which has blossom scattered around the bed which looks quite pretty.   Tig, I have planted the seeds you sent me last year, promise. I don't expect any results until next year. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/wink.gif PJ |

PJ that's a lovely Aqulegia, quite early too, mine are in bud but it'll be another while before they flower. I do like them both the flowers and the lovely foliage. |

My aquilegias aren't anywhere near flowering yet  This has got to be one of my all time favorite clematis: Wesselton - it always does well and I love how the petals have purple in the blue. It's a beauty in my opinion  |
