Good Idea Sacha

My wife is really the gardener, but she doesn't seem to be doing much of
that at the moment.
I have noticed that the daffodil stems are starting to show now, so spring
is around the corner
and maybe she will get busy soon?

Crocus and winter aconites are out, lots of other bulbs poking up, but
snowdrops seem very sparse this year. Areas of woodland which are
normally a carpet of white are bare of them this year.

I agree location does appear to be very important. I was given a Sidalcea
(variety unknown) by friends a couple of years ago and it has never flowered
for more than two weeks with me, when I have plenty of perennials in my
garden that flower for more than 15 weeks. These friends, who live a mile
away, told me yesterday that this Sidalcea flowers for a least 8 weeks for
them.
