I'll be looking out for that. I haven't any space for new roses.

Funny how I can tell this. It will look lovely at night being white.

I bought this exotic-looking plant today - it's Belamcanda chinensis 'Freckle Face'. Last year I bought a Pardancanda 'Heart of Darkness' from the same Nursery, and it has proved to be hardy in my garden. They're in the Iris family and are related.

We once grew a few at work from seed and I loved them then. If I thought there was a chance of hardiness, I would have kept a couple back for myself!

My Pardancanda is about to flower again - it came through the winter in my garden, in a sunny position. :)I do hope this one proves to be hardy as well.

A little extra mulching could sort that out whilst dormant. If yours survived last winter though.....it's worth trying for certain.

Today I bought this new Daisy to me, Senecio polyogon that's apparently relatively new to cultivation and quite hardy if free drained, and likely to self seed in moderation.....unlike it's less attractive Groundsel relative! :-)

I also bought a pale lemon Geum called 'Lisanne'

Plus another Shrubby Hares Ear (Bupleurum fruticosum) as I want another for the back garden too.
