The fern in the background is Polystichum aculeatum, the fronds don't break down until this time, I have now removed them ready for the next performance. It is very showy when growing, called the Sheppard's Crook as you will see in the pic from last year. The ground went a funny purple, something to do with low light I think!

I have crocus tricolor, with C. Beatrice, and C. Snowbunting, they have put on a really good show, but really need dividing. the moles are doing a good job of that, probably sinking them to the depths of the earth. They are in a dry border near an oak tree, not flowering yet, but C tricolor is mostly first.

My snowdrops were there when we moved here, I replanted them in 1999 after digging out the border from rough grass, and have divided once since, they are quite shaded. I think there are at least 3 types, not sure which, possibly 2 of singles, 2 of doubles.

These cyclamen don't bloom in fall, I have C neapolitanum (hederifolium) which do in the same border as C tricolor, they like a dry summer rest and get it!

The P. aculeatum
