    Welcome to this forum's Garden Gallery, @Poppypuss ! Nice flowers in your first post, great! When possible, we do like to see the names of the plants in this gallery. Preferably inserted under each photo. If you can't do it, please ask and we'll explain. ;)

    Thanks Papi Jo will do. The corydalis is still going strong but the rest are going over now. Hopefully I’ll get out with the camera later this week to photo my next lot of faves. 😁

    Thanks for your lovely pics, @februarysgirl May I ask the ID for your 3rd pic, the yellow upright flowers, looking the same as those posted by @Poppypuss in their 1st pic above?
    Thanks!
    Nice collection of heucheras; what are those green wiggly things in front of them?

    @Papi Jo the yellow upright plant looks like an erysimum pagoda and I think the other yell ow plant is an epimedium but not sure of the variety.  I grow the sqiggly green plant in my pond think its called corkscrew rush.  Thanks for posting everyone.

    @Papi Jo The yellow flowers in the third picture are erythronium pagodas and the plant in front of the heucheras is a corkscrew rush. I didn't specifically buy the corkscrew rush, I received it in a potluck collection. I was a bit worried as it's supposed to be a marginal that needs shade and wet acid soil. The bed is east facing, sunny and filled with topsoil and multipurpose compost so I wasn't sure it'd be happy 😕 I stuck it in the ground and hoped for the best and it seems to have done OK!

    Yes the yellow one is a dogs tooth violet. I’ve also got the green squiggly grass but I’ve no idea how it got here as I didn’t buy it. I have it quarantined in a pitot until I could figure out if it had weed like tendencies. BobbySpray your garden looks a beautiful relaxing space.
