This is the first cowslip in flower in my garden which has actually been flowering for nearly 2 weeks now. Its a bit of an oddity, none of the others are anywhere near flowering. This was self sown, so presumably, its hybridised with another primula resulting in early flowering. The colour of the flowers are extremely vivid which is why I left the flowers in colour and the rest in B&W so that it stood out.
Hi Rosa carriola, its called Erica Arborea ''Alberts Gold' it also flowers and grows to around a meter in 2-3 years. comes in several colours and species (pic4 is the var. alpina).
I thought it was. I saw a pic in a mag when researching new border, it's good to see a real one (so to speak) think It will go on the list - which is getting longer and longer
There have been so many posts this one is disappearing and also it hasn't been keeping me updated. Haven't had an email about it for a bit, there is a tick in my box! So here is a photo of spring last year to get back in swing. Can't remember if I've sent it before.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
You know I was thinking that today , I know spring is slow but our seedling babies are growing ... I'd like to see some seedling pics and potted on ones if anyone cares to share , mine are a mm high so not so great
