      Hi Zigs,
      That's such a gorgeous blue. Is it Iris Unguicularis ( Algerian Iris ). I used to have these but they never flowered until January. I'd have thought it was still too warm for them !

        I'll agree with that. :)

        I don't think Zigs is going to know the answer to that @Anthony Rogers, he's a veg man. :)

        He'll prove me wrong now! :biggrin:

                            Sorry about the poor quality of the photos. It was very low light levels and raining :doh:

                            Some of the plants are very confused.

                            Coronilla is a month or so early

                            Exochorda is four months early!

                            A number of Hebes have started flowering again
                            P1260703.JPG

                            The photos were taken yesterday and I cut these grasses, and a lot of others, down today

                            P1260707.JPG

                            I've used the bigger grasses to weave them over upturned baskets frames and covered the Echiums that have started to get frosted.

                            I've just had to tie this up as it had fallen over
                            P1260702.JPG


                            We have hundreds of winter Hellebore foetidus (Lenten Rose) just opening

                              Also out of focus because of low light levels.
