In the back garden
I have started a collection of Auricula Primulas, although none have flowered yet, they are too young. Ive also a pot of tiny seedlings from this years HPS seed.

This is part of the shady conservatory border, with hostas

And a Spotty Dotty, Geranium phaeum Sambor, the Carex flagellifera and Hachenocloea.

The Geranium with the brown leaves (illegible lable) I bought at Longstock Park garden Fayre a couple of years ago on May bank holiday Monday.
I intend to go there again this year, tomorrow, hope there are some interesting plants for sale, maybe on the Heritage plant stall.

I love auriculas, some of mine flowered in their first year so fingers crossed Siris.

I do love your shady collection, Sue! Hopefully you’ll enjoy the Fayre tomorrow and pick up some really nice, interesting plants.

I like the Geranium with the brown leaves ... could it be G. espresso?

Sheila, the illegible label with it read - sch.... prinz which I think might have said Black Prince in German? Actually I have 4 different Geraniums of different heights with dark foliage, maybe I'll do a compilation.

Another great collection, I have a fair amount of geraniums, they love my raised bed, none are dark foliage though, would be good to see blog featuring them Siris..

I will try to remember to start a compilation of dark leaved Geraniums, preferably as they flower.
