    Really beautiful. Not enough sun here for poppies but might try some of the other flowers!

    Geraniums may work yes and I have aquilegias but they have been smothered for the time being. Will be off to the garden centre this week, thank you!

    One wonders if the Spanish/English bluebell war is already out of our hands. Our town hall has a huge display of bluebells in their front garden, every last one of them Spanish image

    I was thinking the same thing,Fishy.  It certainly applies to the urban gardens.  I've given up in mine and am just pulling them out when I can. I did have English bluebells when I moved here but even the ones that look right now have no smell so I assume they've crossed with the Spanish.

    I hope that something can be done to protect the woodland plants but I can't see what it might be.

    In London. Keen but lazy.
