They're a bit hit & miss here as well grindle some come up every year & some disappear but they don't seem to bulk up very much.

Thank you Cherry, yes it is very pretty and said to naturalise quickly so after the flowers fade I'll be planting them in the garden. I have two pots of them.

It's nice to see so many spring flowers in people's gardens! I can't begin to compare with your gardens but I do have a few spring flowers as well.
I'll post some more later.

Don't compare yourself with anyone balc2 you have that balcony looking wonderful every year. I haven't got a balcony to wow passers-by with, most of my garden is only seen by me ... a bit of a waste really.

I don't understand why it is so unstable. About 2 years ago I installed Windows 10 on it in place of Windows 7. I wish I had left well alone now!
I wish the forums had an autosave function as it would help a lot. The thing is I'd spent more than 20 minutes writing up a reply & finding the photos I wanted on my laptop, (I have a desktop PC which is my main machine), as I don't have nearly as many on it as on the desktop one. I was just starting to scroll down the page in search of the "Create Post" button when I got the dreaded blue screen of death! When I was able to open Firefox again, login & find the page it had all disappeared into the ether!
