They were all yellow and with long tall stalks, not like the little ones that I put into pots, any idea what they are called? Judith Cowslips? Duh it can;t be that easy. I was going to suggest daffodils ) -- Martin Twice today young Martin, behave, even I know a daff from a primula/ primrose, cowslip lol. I thought you knew a cowslip from a primrose too ) -- Martin Martin, sweetheart, I should know, I don't. I never pretend to know something I don't and therefore I often stick my foot in my mouth!! Now, I know what a cowslip is but I'm still not too sure on daffs G About these hornbeams that we were sold as beech, I've never seen hornbeams on sale as hornbeams in a garden centre. -- Martin Eh? explique? 28 years ago we tried to plant a beech hedge around our garden. We made 3 attempts buying 19 plants from Bakker each time. Of the 57 plants we bought only 4 grew the others were DOA. Of the four that grew one didn't keep it's dry leaves in winter - the hornbeam. We have recently tried again using a different garden centre, this time much more successfully, other than that the garden centre wouldn't give us a refund on the plants that turned out to be dead " You should have brought them back earlier" It's a bit hard to know if the plants are dead or not until spring arrives. Anyway in both batches we have a hornbeam masquerading as a beech tree. -- Martin They wouldn't give you your money back? Bad service, no wonder you didn't go back. Thanks for the explanation.
