I thought they looked interesting in the catalogue, but they are really delicate and make a nice change from the white/yellow daffs. Something a bit different!

this is pink smiles as you can the pink's rather washed out looking. it's still pretty but i prefer your deeper shade of pink.

What great pictures Lord Steve. Lovely bright colours.  Your garden must be smashing to look out onto.

I am not sure what the opposite of minimalist is (maximalist?!) but you certainly have to like flowers and colour to enjoy my garden!!! I enjoy it, which is the main thing, I suppose!

Amazing pix Lord Steve.
Love the wallflowers especially. 
The grape hyacinth made me scowl inwardly though as it seems to think my garden is a good place to re-enact Day of the Triffids!

I agree with Roof - I spent one full day over Easter digging the flippin' stuff out of my front borders.  AGAIN !  (I only did it last year). >:(

Great pix of daffs though and I absolutely LOVE that Pieris
