There is one Sedum which is not easy from cuttings, Sedum torulosum, but since it is almost impossible to come by it does not really matter. A...
It seems so sad to me that what should be a shared joy, becomes a scene of disharmony.
And talking about hellebores, we have one in flower now. It is a lovely pure white with just a hint of pink around the outer edge of the petals,...

Dahlias for sure, but names? Too hard.

Looks more like a Hollyhock!

I presume you mean Colchicum? Then in that case you may wait as long as you need to before planting them. We have often bought them from Garden...

Not E. pandanifolium then. The flower heads on that are more widely spaced out and are definitely red. Still go for some form of Eryngium though.
