    Think those are the buds on the salvia. You can see a flower starting to form on the bit behind the astrantia.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    It might be the angle of the pic. There's quite a few more on the right hand side too.  :)

    Yeah those are new salvia buds . 
    I dont think its the salvia as they had been there last year as well .
    Will let them be for now and wont feed around them as others suggested and see how it goes ..

    Not sure what this message means. Those astrantias of yours do not droop because they are sitting in a different part of your garden OR they are not the same variety OR what else?

    Very nice,  the White Astrantia in the  OP turned out to be pink when they grew on.

    Most of the astrantias were drooping earlier - the pink and the whte ones as well . 
    The white ones are not so visible in the pic except few at the top of the pic .
    There are more pink ones than white which were planted and they are both able to now through find their space amongst the salvias quite easily .
    The drooping  has completely perhaps now with the weather more settled ..
