Epimedium 'Knight Star' is another recent addition to my collection. Really great flowers and foliage, increasing very slowly though! #gardening

I keep thinking that we'll have enough Corydalis 'Korn's Purple' for sale next year, and then something goes wrong (drought or voles mostly) - so I'm not saying it this year. But it is looking lush at the moment! #gardening

Paris incompleta. Some for sale on the nursery, I'll add them to the website when they've grown a few more roots - if there are any left! These were potted in the autumn but I'd like them to be better established before they get bounced around in a box. #gardening

Luzula purpureosplendens pushing out the first flowers of the year (in a polytunnel). Stunning colour, clump forming and seems pretty hardy. #gardening 🌿

The joy of growing from seed and waiting years for flowers! Iris schachtii after 5 years of waiting - I think it was worth it. #gardening 🌿

Back on the nursery and a few things that caught my eye when picking mail orders: Geranium peloponnesiacum x libani seedling Moraea collina Polygonatum 'Taiga' None for sale yet I'm afraid! #gardening 🌿

Vinca difformis 'Ruby Baker' with plenty of flowers this year, a more muted shade in the evening shade, it's quite bright in the sun! Doing well under the big bamboo outside our potting shed barn. #gardening 🌿

Does anyone still have the real Dicentra 'Stuart Boothman'? This plant (lovely though it is) seems to have replaced it over the last 20 odd years and now suspect nobody realises it's an imposter. The tall thing is much smaller, slow growing and has very fine cut leaves. #gardening 🌿

I can't decide whether the flowers or leaves are the more interesting feature of Asarum maculatum B&SWJ1114! Been growing it since 1999 and still only have two small clumps... #gardening 🌿

A new one for us, flowering well for the first time: Epimedium 'Winters End'. I think it's a yellow that people who don't like yellow Epimedium might like! #gardening 🌿

Epimedium pubescens hybrid from Washfield many years ago. Still not got a name as far as I know and it's still not made up very much. Those new leaves though! And the clouds of tiny white flowers. #gardening 🌿

For those who like weird plants and brown flowers! Asarum caulescens. Semi-evergreen woodlander that really wants to be somewhere cooler and damper than Norfolk... #gardening 🌿

Vinca sardoa (Vinca difformis ssp sardoa if you prefer) flowering its socks off at the moment. Big flowers produced from November to late spring, and all summer if it doesn't dry out. Yes it spreads but can be controlled without too much bother. #gardening 🌿

I still find it amazing that I can take the dog for a short walk from my house and see wild Daphne growing in the woods. It flowered weeks ago and now has lots of berries forming. Muntjac are reducing numbers though...

About to be cut back but I thought it worth showing that Themeda triandra ssp japonica is still standing well with intact seedheads. A sunnier day would have shown the warm colour better! #gardening 🌿

Narcissus 'Elka' and ?'Rapture' make a nice pair and are doing well in pots for their third season. We never got round to repotting them last year but it didn't seem to have done any harm in our peatfree compost. #gardening 🌿

Not a view you get every day - Arisarum proboscideum. As part of our big clean, every plant is checked over and it gives us a chance to see things like the flower buds still below ground on these. Good fat potfuls in 100% peatfree compost. #gardening

I'm not a huge fan of the textured snowdrops but will admit that Galanthus plicatus 'Augustus' is a good garden plant. Compact but vigorous and increases enough. #gardening
