Very many thanks Ian, here's to the next 800.

Thanks David, I cannot say how long the Bulb Log will go on, perhaps I can sustain it for a few more years, but there will not be another 800.

The summer has come in Bulb Log 22 where we are having the warmest driest period for this time of year that I can remember. Plenty of flowers on Fritillaria, Paeonia, Corydalis, etc...

The cover picture is outstanding Ian, real eye catcher.  As always the garden looks wonderful.

When and how do you take cuttings from those Salix featured?  I grow both and would like to make more to spread around.

Tony, thanks for your kind comments.
I have been taking cuttings from the Salix over the last month since new growth started these are all rooted and growing on. I have been rooting them under a mist unit but have also rooted them at other times of the year by just placing them in sand and keeping them moist, most root very easily.

Thank you Yann it is good to have your continuing support.
Many of the plants and the gardeners have been struggling in the recent and rare heatwave.

I always read bulb log though I don't comment much. :)  This time I have to thank you for the information that Fritillaria camschatcensis from Alaska is different than Eurasian form. I have now flowering plants which I got from Alaska a few years back and I was wondering about their color, but now I know they are the colour they should be. :) Mostly here you can see only the "black" form.
Your Paeonia obovata has very nice open flowers, mine are more cup shaped.

 The Bulb Log where summer flowers enjoy the sunshine in the raised beds and troughs while others feel the heat and prefer shade.

Ian,
I am interested to see that you are growing Maianthemum bifolium v. yakushimanum.  I hope it proves to be better behaved than Maianthemum bifolium v. kamtschaticum in my garden, where it has turned into an absolute thug, impossible to eradicate. It spreads by underground runners. In its defence, it may be OK in drier gardens, and its leaves and flowers are lovely, slugs don't bother with them. Cornus canadensis is another plant running through one of my borders, but at least it grows less densely and gives other plants a chance.
The bulblog is a joy to read, as always. Thanks!
