  I love (and am envious of) everyone's blooms! Not much is flowering yet where I am. But I can share a picture of the Butler's sink that I recently salvaged from a neighbour who was throwing it out. Now planted up with alpines in flower

  Well done on planting up your Butler's sink @SeahorseFriend. There was one in the garden when we moved in but it was so heavy and I had nowhere really to put it so I put it on Freecycle (is that still going?) and someone like you came and got it.

  @pitter-patter so beautiful. One of my favourites. You have so many flower stalks! I just have the one. This one is called Tripedale - bought from Farmer Gracy last ear. It's as tall as I am. Have just staked it. It's a strong stem but I'm taking no chances.

  Mine are tripedale as well, really tall. They should naturalise and multiply quite well, so fingers crossed.

  I thought it looked pinker than the normal ones too. Are all those flower stems from one bulb?

  No, I’ve planted seven bulbs, but only six have come up.

  Still a gorgeous display in waiting! And yes fingers crossed - hopefully it will naturalise nicely.

  @Camelliad @pitter-patter they are nectaroscordum, right?
