    I like lupins, never manage to grow them though, they rot or get eaten.

    Also, lunaria, lily of the vally and lathyrus

    Lathyrus aureus

    Lunaria- a lovely plant until the wind breaks through the seed heads! No lilies for me because of our cats image

    The white variegated lunaris is looking good right now catnip.

    What do lilies do to cats?

    I'm going to go for Azure Rush which is a new hardy geranium that I saw last summer and was very impressed with. If you know Geranium Rozanne, it is related to that so must be good. If anybody knows where I can get it I would love to hear.

    Matty, why don't you like lupins? I think they look gorgeous here in this garden we visited in Devon last year.
