I call the drumstick flower 'drumstick primula' but I've just looked up the proper name and it is Primula Denticulata. They can be grown from seed, my latest batch I bought as cells from J Parker. I had mostly purple before and wanted some of the other colours.
I think your wildflower lawn looks lovely, I wouldn't want to walk on it!
Lovely colourful spring borders from Logan and Jason. Wish I could grow wallflowers🙂
Thank you, i used to have trouble growing wallflowers 2 years back. Now i start them in toilet roll tubes and put a few seeds in each. When they come up i thin them out to 1 seedling to each roll. When they need to be pinched out i pot them on with the tubes. I use a multi purpose compost with John Innes in it, i think that it's the best for me.
Not in my garden, but just across a little stream (on the bank) at the bottom of my garden I seen these two different type of primroses growing beside each other.
Lovely colourful spring displays! Inspires me to include more colour for this time of year... Cool pic @Papi Jo. Is it your own drone, or do you have to hire it for the day? I have no idea about drones, but it looks like a great thing to do for us gardeners...

Not my own drone, no. There is a young boy lives in my street, who is a real geek. Last time we opened our garden he produced a short video. Then I mentioned it would be great to shoot the garden from a drone. He got one for Xmas, and offered to try it in our garden. Next time he'll try to shoot a movie. That should be nice.
That is a fab idea @Papi Jo. I think a drone picture would be a great advert for selling a house or promoting an event like ‘Open Gardens’. (Or it could be used to nosey in other peoole’s garden).
