Thanks Marion and fg. I do try and keep proper records and make a note of what I put where, But then I move them and don't update,
Then I'll decide I like a particular genus, get seeds of several species but don't know any of them well enough to tell them apart. That's what happened with the paeonies. and the corydalis, and the codonopsis and.............
nutcutlet, you need our very own Botanic garden with a helpful staff or the four volumes of the four volumes of the RHS Dictionary of Gardening which is the one I have. So useful when labels disappear. I am sure the foxes use mine as cutlery.
nut- we all do it don't we! I'm always trying to be organised with labelling but don't always manage it. If we were really good we could take pix with a label in front and then print them and put them on kitchen wall or similar so that we would know.
Have I taken that too far?
Been out potting up my free hostas and now have about 8 because they were falling apart- don't know how they survived under the conifer! The good thing is that they have long roots from desperately trying to find some water! Have discovered that my rescue clematis is not a montana. Foliage was getting too big and the bud on it was getting bigger and bigger instead of opening and when I looked at it yesterday it was looking purpley at the tip- today it's definitely got a purple tip so it's going to be a nice summer one instead! Hurray! Will now go and buy a white montana for the fence.
Beautiful peony donutmrs
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Wonderful, wonderful WinterS. What is the penultimate photo? I have some and have lost the label, but they have multiplied a lot over the last winter
HappyM, I just stick them in the ground and they seem to know what they are doing If they aren't growing well I give them a little talking to, e.g. 'Come on, you can do better than that!'
Art- as Marion said - that Clematis is stunning. Do any of you ever think of getting these printed for framing? I think some of these would be really beautiful enlarged and done in a mount and framed.

Love the yellow peony and the rainbow chard, my chard is nowhere near hat size yet.
Verbascum, clementine
Clematis Wada's primrose, first flower ever on this clem
Superb. Such perfection just makes me gasp with admiration at nature and nurture (from the gardener).

Winter- they're very arty farty photos!!!!
Guessing that's an allium art.
Do I get a prize Wintersong???
