    That's beautiful. 

    As to who called it Lamprocapnos, those responsible for Dactilicapnos macrocapnos I should think. Dicentra was a rather nice name.

    Dierama - I have 3 this will be their third year and I am still waiting for their wonderful tall drooping flowers (Angel Fishing Rods)

    In fact I dug one up thinking it was dead last year, only to find life so re-planted itimage

    Flo-blackbirds are the bestimage

    The dunnock is lovely-we get a lot round here. I'm sure he'll be fine nut. Had 2 robins sitting on the seed feeder this morning-one on each side on a perch each-presume they were Mr & Mrs! Soon as I picked up the camera one flew off typical!

    Love daffs-'Cheerfulness' is one of my faves. 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Dicentra with dark hellebores sounds good to me!

    I'd like to grow 'Darmera' as a smaller alternative to Gunnera so maybe once I've extended and done a pond  etc..image
