What I was trying to avoid!

What a clashing mix. It was not planned this way - I obviously sprinkled seed of calendula over an area already full of hellebore and small tulips. The oxlips insinuated themselves. However, I sort of like the unruly mix and will tidy it up once the annuals have finished flowering.

I also like it Anget. A colourful mixture for spring.

The Calendulas will be around all summer though, after the others have long disappeared. Love your cowslips. I was thrilled to find some growing wild on a grass verge last year. - Those little tulips are gorgeous - can you remember the variety please?

Thank you, Paul and Klahanie. Glad you like this small area!

It's species tulip "Little Beauty' about 6-8 ins. tall, Stera. Very easy to find.
The cowslips/oxlips are almost a weed here. They come up in all shapes and sizes and in the orange,red, yellow colour range. The bees do their best to spread them around!
