I spent ages trying to explain the spelling to my daughter, but we both got a fit of the giggles I love them too - they don't get world domination tendencies here, and I've recently bought a couple more for the shady bit near my shed. I can see them from my bedroom window too. 'Andrea Atkinson' is the variety.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I think you may be right @Lizzie27. It's a long time since I've grown the pink ones - too pale for me - but I don't remember having a problem with it either. I've heard lots of people say the pink ones run riot, but it may be down to growing conditions etc.
I didn't look for froggy, left him in peace, but I did get some more clearing and sorting done, so I feel quite unreasonably smug. The new species crocus I planted recently are all up and open. There was a little visitor in one

Clearly the compost bins are kicking out enough heat. I just potted up another avocado tree today growing out of the side of one of the bins. Not that we need more houseplants.
Inspiration struck this morning so I emptied out and replanted some Lily Regale bulbs into the ground so I can plant one of the five bare root roses I'm expecting soon into the largest Lily pot (temporarily). I've been racking my brains as to where I could lay my hands on big enough pots!
I’ve just walked around the garden, counting dahlias, fuchsias, salvias etc as one plant, I have 60 different plants in flower. My garden always looks at its best in the autumn and spring.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
