I can't remember the name...it has very feathery leaves and the flowers are white with a red marking

Hmm...I have Corydalis ochraleuca - like this -

but it hasn't got red on it!

And Corydalis lutea - like this -

but it's yellow

and Corydalis flexuosa 'Purple Dragon' - like this -

but it's blue

And Corydalis cheilanthifolia - like this -

but that's yellow too!

So what on earth is yours, Lou? ;D

I did succeed with a few in 2009, so I'll have a go in the spring. You never know, do you?

WF suggested that I should post some wider views of my garden - so here goes.

Here's the stream from the front path looking right towards the wooden bridge.

And from the wooden bridge back to the old stone bridge.

Standing on the path looking across part of the front garden.

Looking across the front garden to the garage hidden under a Parthenocissus, and my greenhouse area behind the fence and gate.

From the front garden down the path into the side garden.

Looking into the back garden - the smallest area of the whole plot.

One of the borders in the back garden.

I hope that gives you an idea of what my garden's like.

Do I have to re format them? I hope not as I dont know how.

Thanks, both. It is a lot of work, yes, but I love seeing it cared for. ;D

Seaburn -

Step 1. Google 'tinypic'. Click on the first one.
Step 2. Click on 'browse files' and find the photo you want to post from your PC photos.
Step 3. Click on 'Resize' and choose 'message boards'
Step 4. Click on upload, then type in the code that will appear.
Step 5. When the new page appears , point your cursor at the 'message board' code.
Step 5. Have a reply box open on your thread on here, and right click in it. Paste the code in. Type what you want to, above or below the code.

You can preview your post before you actually post it on the forum.

I hope all that helps. It gets easier after a while.

Save 'tinypic' as a favourite so you don't have to google it every time. ;D
