    Thank you Celia for the I.D.

    And, I've checked out the link Marley Farley and I don't think I'll be nipping down the village for some cuttings. By all accounts the plant will make its own way up to my garden eventually [​IMG]

    We have had wild primroses out on our bank for a while now... I love them along with snowdrops.

    In some parts of our garden the primroses have been blooming since November :eek: . The changing climate makes it difficult to judge what to do. Some plants are affected by it and some are still following their normal pattern. The forget-me-nots are already growing quite vigorously but not a lot of sign of the daffs.

    Hi to everyone who has contributed to this lovely thread.

    Just a quick mench of a thread running on the Wildlife section at the moment - our attempt to list and log as many wildflowers on the G.C. British Wildlife Survey as we can.

    Any contributions from you wildflower lovers would be very welcome ! :)

    http://www.gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/british-wildflower-g-p326884.html#post326884

    Also, we have several photos of as yet unidentified wild flowers which we would welcome I.D. for if anyone is in the mood for a little bit of detective work!

    All welcome and all photos will be noted on the growing list on Post #1!

    Thanks folks

    Kath
