Just noticed that Pulsatilla vulgaris and Convolvulus cneorum are

I have a cowslip in bloom under my Cherry-Leaved Hawthorn.


Is this a 'dry winter - wet summer' thing? Aided and abetted by a good
Indian Summer?



Well, here, we have had a fairly dry summer and especially so under the
spreading crown of my hawthorn. Whether the thinning crown, due to leaf
fall, has allowed recent rain through to benefit the Cowslip, I can't be
sure.
