We've had some sharp frosts but only one day when the ice on the fish pond

We've had whole weeks when the ice on the fish pond didn't melt at all!
(and I do mean this winter)

When we were up in Northumbria a couple of weeks back, the river was
freezing every night, and had sheets of ice drifting slowly down it all
day.

Just the right weather to see Felicia in Yorkshire, then? ;-))

The message
from "Cereus-validus" contains these words:

Tell that to all the exhibitors at the flower shows.

Insults are free for the taking.
If they stick on you, that's your fault.
Especially if you have the hubris to think you think you are such a psychic
garden expert.

You're unlikely to get away here, with the kind of behaviour you indulge
in at home in rec.gardens. Urg gardeners don't practise or appreciate
gutter or playground abuse, and we generally tend to be smarter with
newsreader software than many rec.gardens posters.

Of course, KF occupants still have the trolls to talk to. Urg's trolls
use polite language but know (and care) less than nothing about plants,
gardens and horticulture so you might find them even less congenial than
the gardeners.

Your choice.

My mother has seen a blue daisy like flower with a
greeny yellow centre
growing
a few inches tall in Yorkshire. Can anyone tell me what
it might be?
Thanks

That is unlikely. I think it is much more likely to be
Anemone blanda, which is just flowering now here in the
Yorkshire Dales, where I have not yet seen any F bergeriana
in flower yet The OP did say that the leaves were
anemone-like. The F bergeriana leaves are not particularly
anemone-like.
I think Kaye's original suggestion was right.

I hope you don't mind my relocating your contribution to the
recommended position in the thread.

Anemone blanda?

Considering the time of year, that's a good possibility.
It might
be A nemorosa or A appenina, though the latter is rather
rare in
gardens.

Hold it! A nemorosa is white-flowered. Or am I behind the
times?

Yada, Yada, Yada.

Go chase yourself, Broccoli.

Are you challenging me to a bitch slapping duel? Nobody doubts that you
would win. I would never touch a rabid dog.

You and your nasty Sapphic friends hurled the first insults and you continue
to do so.

The arrogant holier-than-thou attitude of you repressed prissy fusspot
biddies in this group passing for knowledge leaves much to be desired. Doubt
whether you menstruating clowns are fooling many people here. If you want to
take a dump in your own playground, you should at least admit your own shit
stinks.

You should get off the pot and go back to abusing yourself with phallic root
vegetables like you usually do, Trollina. You are obviously so frustrated
you are about to explode.

Like I said, Franz:

The only person who matters in this thread is the original poster asking the
question and that is Mallowkat.

Whatever the plant turns out to be depends on what she says and nobody else.

Any opinions from the rest of you in the peanut gallery is totally
irrelevant and a waste of time, that especially includes Kaye's opinions.

Got it? Get it. Good!

If you find top-posting annoying, I will continue to do so!
