Kenton suck a lemon! Turn those drool channels off. I HAVE to pull my horns in, the devil gave them to me and they have to go! I scared myself yesterday when I got all my seeds out still to sow, we lost 6 weeks of the season and in that extended cold hovel I warmed myself up with MORE acquisitions, so that makes double the trouble!

Yes I do have a lot of Convallaria, they grew through from the neighbours fence and I transplanted a single row around 7 years ago, they are moving rapidly now into forbidden territory, let the fittest win! I think the Anenome n. Robinsoniana buried by now next to the path is fine to a point, but flowering less. At the other end they are romping through my Tricyrtis, I may have to put a barrier in! It's a fight at the top edge with the Scilla. And the neighbour can't grow them! She has everything invasive, grrrrrrrrrrrrr, can you tell I'm crumbling under the strain of it all....but they do smell gorgeous if you get down and bury your head in them, and last year were green all summer so I didn't have to fill the gaps.

Mary Poppins hat? Did it have lots of flowers on it? I could do with the umbrella to whisk me away into a land of 'everything perfect and easy'! Where I have cleaned up weeds, there are more weeds, get me outa here..........

This I did buy as Narcissus poeticus, planted in autumn 2003 and first time flowered, I don't remember if there was 'recurvus' on the label, but they are suppose to be the latest to flower in May, taken 2 days ago.
