PUSHING THE BORDERS

At last things starting to happen

Nearly ready to get a load of tender stuff out of my way onto the new courtyard wall :)

Lathraea clandestina, well established and getting better year by year.




The precocious Polygonatum vietnamicum in the tunnel. Back to its normal robust habit after sulking last year when it spent the winter without the cover on the tunnel.



Anemone nemorosa 'Leeds' Variety' looking so good it makes me wonder why I grow the coloured forms.




The Daphne bholua hybrid, 'Mary Rose' is rounding off the bholua season.

And finally the most exciting thing I've got at the moment. 15mm along its length, and 10mm tall.

I don't know if it will survive, but if it does I'll be so proud!
Any guesses as to what it might be?

Best guess - a baby sporran?

Some early flowers on the Bomarea from Tom Hudson at Tregrehan never sure of which species it is (or may be a hybrid)

Not sure whether you would class these as "early" or "Late" flowers on Lapageria?

Whatever it is Chad you must be very proud of it to post another picture to remind us to guess. I've done some searches on the net. I was going to pretend I knew what it was but can't find anything like it!

:)

I have posted about its parent before.

I've never succeeded in propagating it, and am expecting it to collapse any minute now.

Hence what will be regular updates until it fails.

Is it a fern?

No Andy,

And it isn't a caterpillar which is what Google image search is trying to tell me for the first picture.

Looks like a hairy ET emerging.
Reminds me of a Syneilesis.
