    It's an Erythronium,  Sandy. Lovely - and I've just been sent some little plants by a forum member image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Thanks for the name. I've now read up on it and it doesn't seem to be the easiest thing to grow, but is so exquisite, it's worth a try.

    Would it work growing them in a container to help protect from slugs I wonder?
