very disappointing selection this year in W Yorks - it seems that all the summer stuff has finally succumbed to the grey misery, and the spring stuff is still waiting for a cold snap to tell it that winter is over.

Primrose
Viburnum tinus
Viburnum bodnantnse
Viburnum sp
Hamamelis - yellow and orange
Hairy bittercress
Cyclamen coum
Winter jasmine
Snapdragon
Winter flowering cherry
Pale blue thing in forget-me-not family whose name I can't remember.

Pale blue thing in forget-me-not family whose name I can't remember.



This is teasing my brain! It could be:-
Pulmonaria ... Omphalodes ... Brunnera ... Borage ... Myosotis (of
course!). I'm sure there are others, but that's all I can think of for now.
Does any of that help?

Omphalodes, I think. That was the name that was buzzing around in my head, but I didn't have time to check when I posted. It came with some seed packet of mixed annuals which I sowed very late.

Hello, Françoise! Wish we could get out to do a proper garden tour and
count. In the winds we've had today, we could have opened our coats
and been blown to your garden!
