The common and native Veronica chamaedrys has planted itself in my small rockery. So far it has behaved itself so I have let it stay.




The foreign Phyteuma nigrum or ovatum has appearing in my garden.




Once I strived to establish Eomecon chionantha in the garden. Now I have more than I asked for but I like it

[Maggi Young]

Eomecon chionantha - so pretty!

[Roma]

Roscoea humeana alba

The first is a bought plant.  The other is grown from seed.

A lovely form Roma. Good opportunity for cross pollinating and SEED (for exchange, of course  I do like that soft green in the throat, very pretty.

Another 'mekon' Trond? I haven't clarified last time that I was referring to the Greek 'mekon' = opium poppy, but then used in the names for many poppy-like plants (like Hylomecon...)
Eomecon is beautiful but indeed beware of it in the 'wet' regions. If kept dry is not too bad.

Very, very pretty! I will also look for it in the seedex - I would like to get a R. humeana for once.

Anemone narcissiflora
Calandrinia colchaguensis - the right thing at last
Calyptridium umbellatum in a sand bed

Turkish Dianthus brevicaulis
White form of Edraianthus montenegrinus

A few things from the garden today:-

A blue form of Phlox bifida. This has been in flower for nearly a month now, very good value for money.

A lovely white form of Veronica gentianoides (I think?).

In the front garden Maureen has a giant Lupin, shown here with a patch of tall Alliums struggling through

Eomecon chionantha - so pretty!

Yes, very pretty but dangerous The rhizomes spread like a coltsfoot's!

Plenty of mecons here (no mekons though)! "Wet regions"?  Have to bargain with the gods then. I have planted it on the driest place I have
