    Thanks Alina.  You are a star.  That's really helpful and no doubt they're not all I'll end up ordering.

    Similar question to @pammie123

    I recently bought a wood anemone and planted it in my garden, under the shade of trees. A couple of days after planting it, I went to water it and found that it had been completely dug up and was entirely missing! I had also planted some wild garlic nearby, which had been partly dug up, but I was able to salvage, while the bluebells had been left alone. Our garden is frequented by squirrels and lots of birds, so I was wondering if it's likely that one of these animals dug it up? I don't want to get more just to have them disappear again!

    Thank you for your help!

    you might not be able to dig the plants up but there's nothing against you collecting some seed as long as you don't strip the woodland!

    If you have land owner permission of course treehugger80, else it is simply theft. image

    The rhizomes are available from Naturescape - grow in pots and plant out in the green as suggested at the start of this thread. Simple and lovely plant.

    Cattie87 - I don't know for sure who has been at your plants - but voles, mice & squirrels all think my garden is some sort of banqueting table & plump little bulbs (& pea seeds) seem to be their favourites. Pigeons are also doing a bit too much pecking around for my liking at the moment image
