Sorry they're not better photos, they were taken with my small phone camera!

Thanks in advance,

Oh, I'm not sure if those links are working - sorry, haven't used photobucket before.

Try again:

Three gold stars to Sacha! Thank you, that is the fella - it's definitely a Staphylea and so far colchica looks the best fit. And yes, it was fragrant.

It doesn't seem to be terribly common, I certainly haven't seen one befo although now I am sure I will see them everywhere. Perhaps I'll go back in autumn and see if I can collect some of the seeds, I'd quite like to grow some of my own.

Thanks again,
Rachel
