  Yes I'm a fan of aqualegias, and have some growing that have self sown year after year for the last 40 years. The original seeds given to me by my old Mum in law when we moved here in 1971. When they bloom every year I think of her. ( sadly no longer with us).

  How about adding Alchemilla mollis to the list. I love their frothy flowers and the rain or dew on the leaves is magical!

  I have a soft spot for sheets of deep purple aubretia pouring over garden walls. Never had much luck here though, even though I've got walls a plenty.

  I love that organic meadow up there, if only we saw more of those... also those Asarina's, I used to grow them up an arch - pink ones but I like the blue very much..

  here is a little Acer of mine, dissectum 'Demi-Sec'.  It's fairly dwarf so suitable for small areas..

  Oh, great idea 

  I will go with...

  Aconite:A deadly poison which can be absorbed through the skin causing tingling, numbness, nausea and a variety of very unpleasant symptoms leading to death if an antidote is not supplied. So...wear gloves when handling these stunning plants 

  Also...

  Angelica: Angelica root can be made into an infusion and used to treat coughs, colds, sore throats, hoarseness and bronchitis. It will also relieve flatulence and colic and sooth an upset tummy but if you are diabetic...stay well clear of it.
