A few from the weekend. It will be nice when the wind and rain eases.
Peony mlokosewitschii – could Molly have a flower bud?
Grown from seed :-)
Doronicum Little Leo
Osmanthus burkwoodii – should smell gorgeous soon
Prunus nigra
Senecio angel wings – I’ve overwintered in the unheated greenhouse.
Narcissus ‘Rapture’
Omphalodes cappadocica ‘Cherry Ingram’, hopefully more flowers to follow
Flower buds on Wisteria

Siris, I like Rapture for its reflexed petals, it’s a
Cyclamineus, I’m hoping it will spread but it’s tallish about a foot.
Angels Wings is lovely Karen, it was on sale at Crocus.

Yes Dawn, I saw it there. Not for me though.

I'm intrigued by Angel Wings, I'll maybe see about finding one at reasonable price somehwhere

lovely plants as usual Dawn. I cant seem to keep Doriconium going from one year to the next. I plant it whre the books say it would like it. But I guess the plants don't read ;o)

Doronicums find my garden a good place to die too SBG. Frustrating innit?
Dawn you always have lovely things to show us. The pink blossom on the Prunus is a joy. The Osmanthus stirs the old excitement doesn't it - wish you could send us a sniff when it opens!

Thanks Sea, Stera. Doronicum likes my garden, weird isn't it, I remember Andrew saying the slugs/snails devour his but ever touch mine.
Grandad, Angel Wings is very different isn't it, I'm told it doesn't like winter wet though.

Love the blossom on your Prunus, and the Omphalodes which I’m trying from seed this year :)
12 Mar, 2019
Thanks Sheila, hope your seeds go well, I'm interested to know if they'll be easy from seed as I could have more around the woodland :)

Lovely as always Dawn..

Good idea Dawn. My Omphalodes were sown in compost in a seed tray in my unheated greenhouse on 26th February, and they are germinating . . . just seven or eight so far with two leaves showing. So hopefully you can do the same?

Our local nursery had Angel Wings, but it looked a tad tender, even for here in the South!
Osmanthus has an amazing perfume for such a small flower, doesn't it?
We can't keep Doronicum any more, grew it for years, then it just disappeared! slugs perhaps?
I think Rapture is one I shall be adding to our garden.....all looking grand Dawn.....

Thanks Sue, Sheila
Dotty, it's excessive winter wet that angel wings hates, so I put it in a pot so it can overwinter in the greenhouse

Narcissus 'Rapture' looks a nice dinky Daff. Should be some gorgeous scents in your garden when the weather warms.
