Lathyrus vernus 'Rosenelfe'

They're lovely aren't they? But now I'm annoyed with myself, because this has reminded me that I left behind a blue/purple Lathyrus vernus in the old garden: bother!

Sheila, I didn't know of them until recently. Darn what I shame you forgot yours.
I hardly dare put a pic on of my Viburnum Mariesii - it's in bud

I'm into Lathyrus this year, my blue vernis was a picture, going to collect seed.

That's a good idea to collect seed.

Dawn, please don’t worry about my feelings - it will be lovely to see your V. Mariesii ! As compensation I have a Viburnum Kilimanjaro, also in bud :)

Hi Sheila. I have a tiny V Kilimanjaro too, no flowers yet. V mariesii any quite out yet, not long.

Saw a v mariesii at Malvern yesterday . . . they are so lovely! Looking forward to seeing my Kilimanjaro flower :)

Me too. How was Malvern? I saw on a Facebook page that plant prices were excessive

It was inspiring, but we had expected “deals” which weren’t in evidence. Interesting Show Gardens, and we enjoyed chatting to the designers. I bought a Salvia Dyson’s Joy, and an unusual white Phlox, before it became too crowded!

I’m pleased you bought a couple of nice plants

Thank you Dawn :)
