        Lovely flowers @Michael Hewett. I have wild Primroses too and they are excelling themselves with flowers this year. I must take some pics of them.

                I posted a lot of primroses and their relatives last month but there are more still coming along. Most are self seeded.

                Even these are self seeded as it's in what was a wild shrubbery that we are cutting back

                P1540090.JPG
                These are in our 'wild' area with hundreds more still to flower. Unfortunately the rabbits seem to enjoy biting the flowers off and leaving them on the ground :scratch:

                      And I was expecting to see fairies.:roflol:


                      I actually bought a Sophora back in January, its still small, I've never bought one in the past because I dont have an ideal spot to plant one, but as I bought it I had to plant it somewhere, just hope it gets its head above the other stuff surrounding it.:smile:

                        Later this month when there are a lot more in bloom the local kids used to call it fairyland. :blue thumb:

                        It should do OK but will take a little while to get going. Ours is about 13ft high now and we have never fed it.
