Cyclamen coum, after C.hederifolium the easiest species to grow here. A little less vigorous (don't plant the two species together) but a really cheerful plant at this time of year.

Some "white" Cyclamen coum (actually usually a very pale pink), just as easy and tough as the pink ones.

Eranthis, Winter Aconite. Only one, I must mark where it is so I can move it out of the back of a border where it currently lives.

Some double Galanthus (Snowdrops)

First of the Hellebores (H.hybridus) out here. The plants seem much poorer than the ones at the other house, I'll have to start more from seed!

One of the reticulate Iris, I.reticulata hybride (I think).

Close up of the Iris

Lonicera x purpusii still in flower.

Some bought in Primulas

One of the Pulmonarias with flesh pink flowers and light green unspotted leaves.

Finally, the quince..still going strong!
