        @Loofah Brilliant. Amazing just how many spores there are in one fruiting body and the wind blows them away. Glad you had a go?

                Some of my Lily flowered tulips are doing a similar thing @pitter-patter, in the same location as others were last year. I think the opinion on GW forum was that this is caused by a viral infection. Nice though!

                    Beschorneria yuccoides sent up 6 flower spikes very early this year. In 2010 when we had -15 degrees it was down to 2 leaves. Moved it and gave it a "roof" and it has done brilliantly.

                        Azara serrata. This evergreen gets hit by the winds very badly but always comes back. The flowers are all over and scented.
