@Logan I like the blue stripey primroses. I might buy them this year. Saw them in the shop last year. Ordered the seeds, but I have millions of seeds, and these seeds from China have no labels. I give up. So I definitely will buy them as they are lovely.
We could get all the other colours. It's best to buy plants.

Woke up really late

Good morning, @Logan The zombie has rejuvenated. Sept from 10.30 to 7.30 and the air was OK! No more tummy upset. Now it's drizzly but clearing up. I'm still dithering between putting my hellebores to ground or let them stay in pots.

Good morning to all!

I feel very cold here. Don't know why. More photos from RHS Hyde Hall, Chelmsford.

This grass looks very interesting. The light foliage makes it more interesting.

I now have about a dozen cannas, but none has any flowers. I hope they have yellow flowers as well as red.

This snapdragon has the most vibrant of red. Now I understand why @Logan likes planting snapdragons. To me, they are weeds to be uprooted. But this one changed my opinion.
