    @B3 I was about to ask....Checked ours, no daffs, so disappointed.
    Where did the GOS thread go? I used to read and enjoy it before I joined.

    madpenguin that is a beautiful little viola, such a rich deep colour.

    I'm sure it's lurking in the vaults somewhere

    I saw this little garden growing on the inside window sill of a barn today. The open window allows in just enough rain to keep it alive.


    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I saw this nice little clump of sedum acre growing out of the pavement on the weekend. It's a plant that never does well for me as I can't bring myself to mistreat it as much as it likes.

    This one taken today not so much in the gutter as up the drainpipe!!!

    Bee magnet growing between paving slabs. The jasmine is doing the  same
    @wild edges its really galling when that happens. There's poppies growing through spaces at the edge of the tarmac in the street. I've chucked packets if them in my front garden over the years and I never see one!
    Those little purple flowers love a drainpipe, don't they?

    Saw this the other week and thought about this thread. They will grow when they want to. Typical.

    Another sedum (or petrosedum if you're being picky) found alongside a path locally. I just liked the way this one had managed to find a crack in a vertical wall to grow in. It must have been a lucky seed to get wedged in such a tight spot. The graduated colour of the leaves is particularly nice.
