Title: A Devon Woodland Garden
Post by: David Nicholson on May 05, 2016, 08:59:23 PM
Today I had the opportunity to have a private visit to a Devon woodland garden which was quite special. I have never before seen as many Erythroniums and the owner told me she saves the seeds from her plant and simply scatters them around and leaves them to it. There were wood anemones in thousands and a whole range of woodsy plants that really had to be seen and my camera and photography skill (or lack of it) just couldn't match the sight.

First the Erythroniums:-

Many thanks folks, glad you enjoyed them.

You were spot on Fermi the last close up was indeed an Oxalis, I mixed up my notes.
