Well there is *something* coming up in approximately the right place... but it might be a fritillary. That's what's coming up all around it, but when I planted those bulbs the Solomon's seal would still have been visible so I think I would have planted around it. The possible S'ss is only about 1.5cm at the moment so difficult to tell - anyone fancy posting a picture of what it looks like when it first emerges? Don't ask me why I didn't put a marker in.

Both are new (frits from bulbs, Ss dug up from uncle's garden) so I think all may be slower - the one clump of not-new frits are already flowering, the newly planted bulbs are either emerging or just making buds at the moment. I think the suspected Ss is probably another fritillary - not fat or solid (though at 1.5cm it's difficult to tell what sturdiness is to follow!) :-(. Which might mean, as I'm in the SE, that I've lost it.

HI All,
Mine is in a sheltered spot beneath a very large oak .... it currently has shoots about 6 ins tall (Southern Scotland).
Once all the leaves are fully out I'll spray with diluted neem oil to prevent sawfly ... works really well.

My fritillary isn't up either. Both my favourite plants.
