Took these on the 20th. Taken since then to get them on to Photobucket.

Good work Eric. My, that was have been a real slog to get them uploaded.

Thumbs up here! Its worth while in my opinion.
Ive had a quick scan over them and looked at a number in detail and, once again, they are first class.

Im getting a wonderful display from my Dorinicum, Pulmonaria and Iberis. Looks like you are too!
Ive tried Doronicum a few times and failed completely to get it to establish.
Last year I bought a variety by name of Doronicum orientale 'Leonardo' and its taken off! Its a new location, but the other locations were also favourable in my opinion.
As for Iberis, I have a number of varieties, all white, but slightly different flowering times and different flower power!
My best one is Iberis sempervirens 'Schneeflocke'. Its in flower right now. The staright Iberis sempervirens is just appearing!

No doubt you have a few stories to tell and advice to give, so please talk us through some of the photos in that set.

Doronicum is a real seed weed for us. It pops up almost everywhere,

Aethionema x Warley Rose. We also have A. grandiflora which is a lighter pink. The first is a hybrid and does not set seed, so we propagate from cuttings. The latter can be a bit of a nuisance with self sowing if happy. Both like well drained soil in full sun and flower from April to May. Warley Rose is at present in the Riverbed area growing happily in sharp sand
