    Sophie...Those Lilies? the yellow with brown speckles in the middle? Marzipan and chocolate. Mmm. They're lovely.

    Thank you. That's one of my favourite lilies, I started off with one and now have 5, every year I'm desperate for more babies haha. It's an asiatic one called tiny nugget 

  • The insect is on Convolvulus tricolor.

    Your photography is brilliant, aym. Really is 1st class.

    Which one are you talking about that's more interesting than yours? I don't have Centaurus, they're just corn flowers.  not agapanthus as I don't have any of those, I don't actually have a clue what it is, they were some bulbs I planted in the autumn from a mixed batch. Pretty though. i started with about 10 lilies and now have over 100 so think I'm doing ok, don't wanna go too mad. Your Diana is looking nice, I'm a bit jealous I wish mine would bud

    I think you short change yourself.. your artistry is self evident.

    Kate's definitely worth the wait. Never knew cornflower was called anything else haha. It's definitely not agapanthus They're tiny bulbs between snowdrop and crocus size. I had some random yellow ones too.

    More lovely Lily's from Sophie, you must have a magic touch they're fabulous image

    I can ID the blue flowering bulbs in Sophie's pic, "triteleia"  

    I had a whoop, whoop image moment last week when nobody knew and I got it right on another thread.

    Sorry I can't help ID yours aym, I'm not clever enough for just leaves.

    (I only got the bulbs cos I knows what I grows) image

    Yes I saw it a couple of pages back I think. I thought exactly the same about the leaves looking like wiegela too. Very pretty.

    Haha image  with ID's it's good to get one right when 9 times out of 10 you haven't a clue image
