                  5AD4C7DC-CDF3-4160-9AF5-3110EF58ACE0.jpeg Another osteo here...eklonis. This too has been flowering for ages and will look better with increasing sun in the summer
                  Osteos do well here even the yellow Voltage Yellow which again is hardy over winter.

                      @CarolineL - nice Clianthus! I planted mine out in 2015 and lost it :gaah:

                      It's so nice to see someone else growing this. One of my absolute favourites :blue thumb:

                      The various Echeveria are coming along now. Most of these spent the winter on staging next to the house protected from wet weather by the eaves;

                      I'm having to keep this Echeveria hybrid apart as it has blackfly. Shame as it's a nice one that I suspect has some E.purposorum in it..........

                        @longk - thanks - the clianthus lives in a pot for now, but I had one in my previous front garden flowering quite happily for years in clayish soil.
                        How do you take such good photos? You even make blackfly look good!
                        @Upsydaisy - is the photo 115419 an allium or ornithogalum? It's nice! And the lime heuchera is gorgeous - is it Lime Ricky?
                        @Verdun those osteos are wonderful. I think I might have a bash now that I'm living somewhere warmer (but wetter).
