There were quite a few of these in flower, although they'd suffered from the frost - when I first heard about them I'd hoped they might be one of the rarer alien species, but no such luck    Primrose ( Primula vulgaris) & Ivy-leaved Toadflax( Cymbalaria muralis) in flower in the same area; the Ivy-leaved Toadflax seems to be going right through the winter as I've now seen it in a couple of places, but I was very surprised to find Primrose out already. |
thanks dave - we can look back at this thread in the summer and see what we were finding.
