Today

Yes Snoopdog she does have a very cold nose

The Hellebores in my garden are putting on a good show as well Jane, I love them all, sorry no idea what the yellow plant is called but its very pretty, your g'house looks very busy and all healthy for you which is always a relief when we reach this time of the year, nothing worse than losing ones precious plants, its been a lovely day here, not as warm as Sunday but comfortable to work outside, it clouded over for a while about 3-30pm and hubby told me it was pouring on the opposite side of town , he was most surprised to arrive home and see we'd had no rain at all, lol......
Its nice to have company in the garden isn't it, she looks a lovely lady.....

Lovely blog JAne! Your seedlings are way ahead of mine. I'm trying delphiniums from seed, but they haven't germinated quite yet. They might take a year to build up their strength. Looking forward to seeing your primula in flower!

It's nice to see all your plants.
I tend to sew seeds in the spring too, rather than in the autumn.

There's a lot going on in that polytunnel. It's exactly as it should look :o)

Your helper looks enthusiastic :o) It's nice to have company in the garden ...

Your little Saxifrage is pretty, and i love the irises. I kept mine for the first time this year by digging them up and keeping them dry all summer - never managed to keep any before.
I hunted around for your celandine but couldn't find anything except Brazen Hussy and it isn't that. Its clearly a ranunculus. I hope it doesn't behave like ficaria though and spread everywhere!

Thankyou all for your comments - Lincslass the weather here today is sunny probably hail this afternoon!!

Cottagekaren - the primula is not out yet - I will post a pic when it flowers - I do not have a very good track record with delphiniums - hence the wool pellets to scare off the slugs

Hywel Bluey is very good company except she puts her ball in difficult places and then expects me to retrieve it !!

Steragram it was a similar thing for me with the iris - every year I bought new ones because they never flowered again for me but I realise now that they need to be naturalised or dug up so I have done a little better with them this year - I don't think the plant is a ranunculus it is the wrong type of leaf - I have just been out in the garden looking for the label but it is nowhere to be seen !!

I see what you mean - but looking through a couple of pages of wild ranunculus there seems to be a lot of variation in leaf shape and these leaves look very like the Ranunculus ficaria in Cassell's flora. Do the flowers have 8 petals?

I have just been out into the garden (in the dark and the rain!) and the leaves of the many wild ones there are just like the ones in your photo only of course much smaller.
