Dicentra spectabilis is just coming out. I love it's other name of "Lady in the Bath" when you pick a flower, hold it upside down and gently squeeze it sideways.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Thanks ladies! I bought it just to sit on a table in courtyard in old house when we were selling, but I really liked it so brought it with me. I had a white cyclamen in it there -think I posted a pic on the gallery thread as daughter was helping with putting pix on here and we were testing. Not sure where I got the pan though- possibly local GC or even B&Q? I had another sempervivum (Rubrum) in it then which I've divided up and put in another pan with a white pasque flower. I used a lot of them in the wall at last house, which was full of weeds, and there were loads of planting holes in it to fill.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

There now, properly dressed. they are probaly saying to each other - ahh we are back home in the scree.
I'll just try a picture to see if the problem has been sorted.
No it hasn't been and now there is an annoying advert coming on sound too.
