Kenton I also have Gavota, they are coming into bud now and look a bit pathetic, in a poor spot that needs some food, mulch, but campanula mixture are there also and they seem to like it, and makes it difficult to mulch.

My Dracunculus has unfurling leaves, and the stem is getting a stronger blotch. it also has a small bulb growing at the side of it. Will get a pic later.


I saw some JacK Snipe growing in pots yesterday at the garden centre, they are quite small and cups are short compared to the perianth. I also saw tulip red Riding Hood, and they were cream with broad red stripes and a dark centre, they are red are they not? I should have bought some! They had large pots of frit. Aurora and lutea, some with 2 stems and flower heads for only £4.95 (x1.75$). I was tempted, but found a Dianella tasmanica for £6 instead, a large plant with 5 flower stems. They are bred for variety, some had a broader, greener red flushed leaf, the one I got has blue/grey narrow leaves. The flowers are said to be blue/grey, and make metallic blue berries. A plant I had wanted!

Took this yesterday
