More little things that please...

 

This pretty little plant has been with me for about 4 years. I kept the label so that I wouldn’t forget its name! I also kept it in its pot because it was doing so well. This year I repotted it. Next year, who knows!

It’s name: Anemone obtusiloba.

Family: Ranunculaceae

It’s a rare alpine plant and it’s actually native to the mountain regions of Pakistan, Burma, Nepal and Tibet. It sits happily in its shady spot. Meanwhile...

This little spot is full of interest. The mini narcissi are particularly lovely...they are extra teeny tiny and much smaller than the Tete a Tete variety. I think they are called, ‘New Baby’.They seem to get on well in the company of the Auricula.  The other thing I noticed is that they flower much later than other narcissi.

I admit to buying these Nemesia from a delightful nursery called Plant World, near Newton Abbot.These are way ahead of the plants that I’ve grown from seed and they do add a very welcome splash of colour to an old pan and a rusty chair!

At the same time, I purchased these trailing Geraniums...and they are doing a fine job already.

Finally, I think I’ve had more Violets in flower than ever before in this garden! Purple and white.These seem to have come from nowhere! And the flowering season has been a long one.
