    Just Gorgeous!! You always have such interesting plants especially since they are ones that you don't find growing down here in this climate.

    Thank you, gardengater and Glenda. :stew2:

    Glendann, your Oxalis is a house plant here. :D

    It's the same thought I have when you southerners show your blooms. That's what makes the Stew such an interesting place, I think. That, and the wide range of gardening interests.

    Droopy your plants are out of this world. So very different than what we have in Texas. Not enough adjectives to describe their beauty.

    Oh I'm sooo glad you took these photographs for us Droopy. Thankyou. :-D
    I'm going to keep this post in my favourites as there are quite a few of your plants I'm going to look for in our garden centres. I think I may actually print it out too and take it with me. You don't mind if I take your photographs as a reference guide do you? :-? Fingers crossed.

    Thank you for your very kind comments. It means a lot to me. :D

    Eileen, I've said so before, but I'll say it again: Pinch any photo of mine that you like. You're most welcome to them. But please bear in mind that some of our plants are from the lady in Molde that gets seeds from all over the world, so not all plants might be readily available in UK.

    Thanks Droopy. I always ask before pinching piccies just incase people don't like the idea of me nicking them without their express permission. It's good to know that I can pinch yours whenever I like now. :D

    WOW - that clump of Cypripedium is stunning. We have them wild in Ontario but it's EXTREMELY rare to find one or two, let alone a huge patch of them like that. Did you grow them from nursery stock? Any problems with chlorosis?

    Wonderful pictures Droopy. I really love the White Ranunculus, the Primula, the Gentian is an amazing color and the Peony of course. Heck, I love them all!

    Thank you all. :D

    The C. parviflorum comes from my Gardening Idol in Molde, a remarkable lady. (Link to my blog entry about her.) No problems whatsoever with it. It was a tiny thing with one spike when we got it about six-seven years ago. Now it looks like this:

    I always find it amusing that my garden flowers are someone else's wildflowers.
