A few pics from the garden today.

1 Draba mollissima - not the most floriferous but a good cushion in the rock garden. This was planted as a rooted cutting in a small crevice 10 years ago.

2 Daphne juliae - one of the few daphnes that was not harmed during this tough winter.

3 Corydalis hemidicentra - nothing much to see even after 5 years, what a patience killing plant to grow from seed. But at least they do well from year to year so maybe one day.......... 8)

Now flowering:
Calceolaria pinifolia
Campanula thessala, the leaves in the foreground belong to
another Campanula
Weldenia candida, the plants seem to enjoy our incredible wet weather,
we suffer by the second wettest month of May since1881!

Hi Rudi,

Campanula thessala is beautiful .... mmmm .... it looks like the next addition to the collection .... :-) .... this morning here is winter, rather than autumn, campanulas are well behind yours.
