That's a nice Dodecatheon Derek, do you grow it outside?

David that one has been in a 3ltr pot for the last 3 years but I have different ones in the garden.I find them easy to grow from seed but sometimes when pricking them out the go to sleep to soon and only about 25% come up the next year.

I have made some posts in Rhododendrons May 2008
 http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=1723.new#new
 but here are some other plants.....
A few different acers which have been rushing to put their leaves out in the recent few days of warm sunshine.
One is a near forty year old Acer dissectum atropurpureum with a Rhododendron tatsiensense flower through it, very nice combo.
 A view throughthe leaves of an Ulmus 'Jacqueline Hillier' which is "bonsaied" in a pot by the pond
Two variations on spotted Dactylorhiza leaves

Pure magic to watch acer leaves unfold.  I have one right outside the kitchen window and every year it wows me.  Has lime green new foliage with a pink sheath (it probably has a 'proper' botanical name), looks just fab right now.  My A. Sankokaku is just as spectacular, with its rose red stems and the pale green foliage all brand new.  Love those acers....

Me too, but I also love Magnar's saxes. Wish we had a better - and newer - collection here.

So many joys to behold in this thread.  Great pics everyone.  Yuri, nice selection of the Anemone..... you must be pleased to have found that one.  Beautiful!!

Very nice to see someone posting pics of the strongly coloured Aubretias.  Rarely see anything except mauvey colours or some slightly reddish tinges in the extremely rare times you can find Aubretias for sale here.  I do enjoy them, but wish we could get better colours here.  Great to see the pics of them.  8)

Thanks for all the wonderful pictures everyone.
