There have been complaints from The Management. We are talking Upper Management. Even higher than our master CEO Prop. Yes we are talking about Peggy, my mum. It has been noted, and duly logged, that I missed the last Six on Saturday and my excuses for this week fell on deaf ears. As I have rarely done as I was told since a I was a very young girl this would usually be shrugged off with a “whatever”. Then, she took a tumble. As she hasn’t been practicing her judo rolls she is feeling a little worse for wear. Anything to get me to do as I’m told.
Can I be honest with you without fear of rebuke? I thought not. Rebuke away. These photos were not taken in my garden and definitely not on a Saturday. And this is going to be brief. Concise is a better word. Let us go.
First Epimedium ‘Frohnleiten’, lovely jubbly.
Second Hacquetia epipactis, splendiferous.
Third forget-me-not, amazeballs.
Fourth Tasmannia lanceolata (Drimys lanceolata), fandabidosi.
Fifth Synthyris missurica, perfectarooney.
Lastly little mousie magnolia bud casing, stupendimania.
Adios friends!

This Forget-me-nots Amazeballs is beautiful and the picture does it justice ! ( like many of your photos though) .
Is the Tasmannia lanceolata a bit invasive or under control? I like the mix flowers and long thin dark green leaves

I’ve never known TL to be invasive, always very well behaved here. It is a lovely plant. Strangely I like it better in bud than in actual flower!

Short, but very sweet. Love the Epimedium photo – how on earth did you get so close? And the mouse. I almost mistook it for a mouse. Uncannily like. 😀

There are so many magnolia buds on the grass at Max’s and all day is “mouse! oh no its a flower casing. mouse! oh no its a flower casing.” and repeat. Luckily I am not scared of mice, but it does make me a little sad that they are dead. 😦 🙂

What an interesting concise selection of plants – three out of the six are completely new to me and I haven’t seen that variety of Epimedium before. Hope your mum is on the mend!
