A few things showing in the garden at the moment

plieone limprictii which has been outside in the garden for years but had become a bit conjested so I divided it in late February. I think it will take a year to forgive me so only a few flowers this year  :-\]
Erthronium rev hendersonii - I think
Clematis alpina Pamela Jackman over a pergola
Arum creticum
