My favourite Epimedium is 'rubrum', such gorgeous leaves. The other I grow is called 'Frohnleiten', which has little yellow flowers. I cut the foliage off in Spring, few days ago like you do with Hellebores, in time for the flowers to show... unfortunately I do find 'Rubrum' a bit difficult and it has disappeared on me in the past. So far it has not shown up again as yet, - it doesn't like me... yet I like it so much... I live in hope...
don't grow many Fuchsia's... but this is one I usually grow each year...'Display'..
I love Eschscholzias - Californian poppies. They are good tempered, tough, have lovely ferny foliage and a brilliant splash of colour. And their little pixie-hats that pop off before the flowers open, make me smile.
Erigeron glaucus is a favourite. I know it grows everywhere once you've got it but it's so dainty and I love the shades of pink turning to white. Mind you I am a daisy nut, and another fav is Esther Reed- Leucanthemum really, so I'm cheating.!

As long as someone tells me where we've got to I'll be OK. I'm an old woman who wasn't that bright in the first place

Dianthus for me too- got a metal pot with shocking pink ones in it- love it

I like it very much... I hope you do, as well
I have a bright pink Epimedium which needs IDing. I'll post when it flowers.
The pic is Eryngium planum with one of the horned poppies

Nutcutlet, I love that Eryngium planum
It is nice artjak but I'm beginning to think it didn't survive the wet summer and the long cold winter. I shall have to find some seeds.
