@Nollie No, none of those currently Nollie.. I meant to say, if anybody wants to contribute their own photos, and this is in the main a Photo thread, then you are more than welcome, it needn't be all about my own plants.. so if anyone has photos of any more 'A's not shown already, please go ahead, I'd like to see them..
I'm also going to be putting a call out for 'B's, as I lost my Baptisia australis, and I don't really have anything else, before I move on to 'C's... thanks..
Are bulbs allowed ? I have a load of Allium varieties .
Aconitum - Stainless steel . I have royal flush as well bright red foliage late winter flowers late summer .
Astrantia - Hadspen blood flowers on and off throughout summer . I also grow 3 other Astrania superstar - snow star and roma.
Actaea - James Crompton ( white spike flowers not a great picture )
Agastache - Crazy fortune . I have a few others blue fortune / black adder and some smaller versions like kudos coral . Black adder is a 50 / 50 whether it will return but blue fortune seems much harder .
I've copied a link from my phone of my Alstroemeria "Indian Summer". It's parked in the veg garden if my new house last year. It is now in my new Jewel Bed. I hope it survived the winter OK, new growth is starting.
My computer is dying and is at a repairer man being transfered to a new laptop, most of my photos are on it.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Alliums can sneak about as much as they like here. None when we arrived but I plant new ones each year. The Christophii haven't survived droughts but I have high hopes for Purple Sensation this year and some sphaerocephalum planted new for this spring and nectaroscordum.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Actaeas are real favourites of mine. Like Perki, I garden in the north (Cumbria in my case) and they stay upright, never need staking, sway around but never flop. My favourites so far are 'Chocoholic' and 'Pink Spire'.
..just to say thanks for the extra photos, really enjoying them... those Alstromerias are striking [Edhelka and others].. and also the Agastache 'Crazy Fortune'.. looks a real winner.. I've had 'Kudos Coral' here, but didn't like it too much... Actaeas I've not grown, really lovely.. !
I'll start the 'B's tomorrow and hopefully some of you can follow on then..
