Hi David,

Mary and I enjoyed a spring visit to the Garden House a few years back and liked it very much. We then went to Keith Wylie's garden which is only a few miles down the road.

Your  mystery plant above is Impatiens tinctoria.

Nice to see photographs of the garden again. Will you be visiting to see the snowdrops in spring?

Paddy

Many thanks for the ID Paddy.

We usually go to the Garden House in spring and will probably see the Snowdrops but as most of them are not named (to deter thieves) I don't bother with pics.

David,
my way is only to the galanthus or to the colchicum thread. But here you show these fine pics of English colchicum. Thank you.
