I'm taking a few bits (quite a lot) to East Ruston Old Vic Plant Fair today, 10am to 3pm. The weather forecast looks to be improving!
Aquilegia buergeriana
Thalictrum aquilegifolium 'Album'
Corydalis 'Spinners'
#peatfree #plantsforsale #plantfair
Rodgersia 'Cally Coffee'. Stunning but so slow here.

Corydalis 'Craigton Purple'. Not sure of the parentage but it's making a neat mound of foliage with flowers well above so far. Still bulking it up.

Convallaria majalis ex Tatra Mountains. It's at least as pink as rosea.

Vinca difformis 'Jenny Pym'. A big as Vinca major but easier to control, remember the 'right plant, right place' idea with it!
Dry shade is possible...

It was nearly dark last night when I took this photo of Allium subhirsutum. No filters or flash. It sparkles in sun and glows in the gloom. Fairly well behaved too!

Most boring photo for a while but I'm really pleased with this big batch of Silene fimbriata growing on. Should be ready in 3 weeks or so.

First flower after six years from seed! I think Paeonia tenuifolia is worth the wait, though it shouldn't have been quite so long... only one plant out of three though.
Now we hope for seed.

Feeling a bit late to the party but I finally have Taraxacum pseudoroseum. Smitten! The new flowers nearly white, becoming pink as they open. Have to see how it behaves here now.

Geranium macrorrhizum AL&JS 90179 Yu
A fine example of the wild species collected in what was then Yugoslavia. Evergreen groundcover.

New leaves on Epimedium 'Wildside Ruby' are good enough to ignore the flowers!
A few plants ready soon.

White variegated foliage helps brighten up shady areas and thus Disporum sessile 'Variegatum' is no exception. Will wander in damper areas but clump forming here.

Double white bluebells, supposed to be our native Hyacinthoides non-scripta but I'm suspicious it's s hybrid. Beautiful anyway.

Cardamine bulbifera is having a cracking year with masses of flowers, larger than normal. A bit weedy for some but great in difficult shady places.

Fresh batch of Hedera helix 'White Ripple' looking smart if slightly mad! A mid size grower that can climb or trail.

Fragaria vesca 'Multiplex' looking really sweet as they open the first flowers. Great low groundcover in shade and they produce a few fruit too!
