    Spotted first bit of colour on a bud! It’s coming from Vanessa Bell. Quickly retreated after that as the rain started, I’d only just stepped outside. Seems set to remain rainy for the rest of the weekend.

    @PeterAberdeen, I think it is Halcyon hosta but I am not sure. It was bareroot, opened packet lying outside a closed Lidl. Some plants make remarkable recovery. I managed to divide it and have two now.

    I love it - A Lidl reject.  Well, look at it now.  I tend to agree with you that it is a Halcyon.  A beautiful specimen, whatever its origins.

    @WAMS thank you for sharing your experience, interesting that she’s behaving differently for you. That bloom is beautiful, I love how she fades but I wish she held her colour for a bit longer. I do wonder if I could treat her like a climber and perhaps add a support behind, I’ll see what she does this year.

    @cooldoc sounds like she is similar for you, I like her fragrance too. I’m glad I have her in a border and not a pot. I’m also a fan of eustacia’s habit and looking for something similar for my pot.  It’s fascinating what a soothe weather can make.

    Got lots of buds but they’re all little at the moment, give us a month Nollie 😆

    though it sounds like @Mr. Vine Eye will be joining you soon!
