I was thinking of giving it a go in my roundel area under the trees there. It says it likes shade and is hardy and easy, if slow, to grow.

Now that looks different Amo and I see good old Crocus have it ;D not cheap though

and it sounds like you have the ideal spot www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/bulbs/other-bulbs/paris-polyphylla/classid.2000008271/

This site has loads of different ones www.crug-farm.co.uk/plantlist.asp?code=Paris I like the looks of Paris delavayi which has a brown flower and also Paris japonica which has a white flower.

Wanted I'd compare notes first though. Seems a bit of a rarity on here!!! Perhaps I'll get it and try anyway. It's a good one isn't it!!
