Awww, poor Bumble. I hope she warmed up and found herself a home. Lovely blooms! We have crocus tommasinianus in bloom now, so things are looking...
Thursday morning, -1°C. Thursday afternoon +9°C. It's dry and sunny, but I'm not fit to do anything. We took PCR-tests today, just to find out if...
Thanks! Oooft, methinks that's slightly too much trouble. I get what I get, and it might be some fun ones. I've helped a friend hand pollinate...
*giggles*
Thanks, Logan.
There are several varieties looking much the same but sold under different names, so I guess you'll have to put your patience pants on and dive in...
Thanks all! I can't understand where the years went, and then I look at our children and grandchildren, lol.
You managed to tingle my curiosity, and I've been reading about it now. It just said it's been grown around the Mediterranean, probably brought...
@Sjoerd, you know I like the out-of-the-ordinary segment of garden plants. I'm hoping this will produce some seedlings with the same colour, but I...
Thanks, both. As I said, it's tiny, but I'll take anything that blooms this time of year. I've been told it's quite rare and hard to come by, so...

Exactly! House leeks were traditionally planted on roofs to protect against lightning, fires, storms, and witchcraft. It's also an old medicinal...
Good morning! We have 6°C and sun, and I have a bad case of cabin sickness in addition to the cold. It's gonna be another do-nothing-day. I'd...
I believe so, Eileen. I proposed 26 years ago and we got married 25 years ago come autumn, so I'm hoping we'll be able to celebrate our 25th...
I think she is, Eileen, but I wouldn't mind having one looking like yours either. That one's petals had such a charming, ruffled quality to them....
In autumn 2020 I was lucky enough to get hold of one bulb of Colchicum raddeanum, a tiny, spring-flowering colchicum. We have the big, autumn...
I found a photo of our Helleborus "Blue Lady" from last year. She's still in bud out there this year. [ATTACH]
Hi all, I'm ill so I haven't done anything today bar folding some bed linen and put a clothes wash on. I'm OK as long as I sit still but feel...
Not allowed to grow anything on the roofs? Bah! Here people have grass roofs on houses, cottages, boat houses, outbuildings, and a lot of nice...
Thanks all! Nothing was planned. Truth told, I forgot about it because I've been so busy. My husband is the one who always remembers...
