@bertrand-mabel ..oh thanks so much, it does doesn't it, I've just had a look.. Geum urbanum, probably not something I will want to keep too long then.
@Malorena Just hope it's not the weed G urbanum. Normally I can tell the difference but not absolutley sure, looks like it is about to flower so not long to wait.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
Pulsatilla vulgaris 'Papageno' with Doronicum orientale 'Magnificum' looking beautiful this afternoon. I am really enjoying this thread. Thanks to everyone!
..nice sunny day again.. blowing a gale as it usually is here.. Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' is very bright, but this area gets shady in summer, and looks more green then.. it spreads but I quite like it.. ..when Pulmonaria 'Opal' finishes flowering I cut it back as it mildews somewhat.. in between I have these Monarda 'Beauty of Cobham' rising up.. Epimedium 'Frohnleiten' has such lovely foliage.. I seem to have missed the yellow flowers.. Geranium 'Cream Chocolate' forms a big mound, but flowers all summer, creamy white.. I like the foliage on this.. Parahebe 'Porlock' is a favourite ground cover for me, sun or part shade, little blue flowers all summer long.. dainty foliage.. I've got it all over the place.. Geranium 'Russell Prichard' is long flowering into late Sept. starting even earlier this year.. Iberis sempervirens, this might be 'Snowflake'.. Berberis 'Bagatelle', Helianthemum 'Supreme'... I love these as frontal ground covers..
My (perennial) Welsh poppies have just started. I deadhead rigorously and they flower all summer long. It's like an old friend returning when I see they have made it through the winter. Very cheery and very easy. Here amongst linaria and sweet williams in a rather packed planter by the front door. The peak time for the front. Downhill from here.

We are in East Anglia too. Badly need rain. I've emptied 1 and a half water butts onto the garden.
..thanks, I'll have to get rid I think... glad you had a nice day out. I never know whether you're in France or not..

..how lovely, I used to have Doronicum 'Little Leo' but it disappeared and never returned. A nice splash of bright colour..
@Papi Jo
