Dog's tooth violet (Erythronium dens-canis)

I've got two patches of Dog's tooth violets, one under a pine and one under a cupressus of some kind. They flowered the first year under the Cupressus but not since. I'm on a loam, the Cupressus is on a West facing wall and pine on an East facing by Jim Macdonald

Shadyish paving creepers

Anyone got any suggestions for plants that'll creep through the gaps between paving in slightly shady spots? Soil is average loam and limy. I've done your bugles, sedums, violets, tiny ivies and london pride, and whatever I use needs to be pretty by auntie betty

In flower now

and violas, virburnum and violets. I even have annual sweet peas still growing but no flowers. Most of my spring bulbs are through with buds showing. My wild flowers are up and growing well too. One of the bonuses of living in the South West I guess. I live by Muvs Dashwood

What Climber to have for a shaded area?

to clematis I always used to go for Indigo blues or deep violets for something a bit different. I agree with Mermaid, I have Trachelospermum jasminoides in a shady spot outside the back door, its smell and flowers are heavenly and I also have a blue clematis by BlueDreamer

Any ideas what has happened to my foxglove?

straight forward instead of hanging down. We split the seeds between us - every one of them came up normal So, perhaps there are two possible causes for these odd flowers - damage, as presumably in my case, and genetic flaw as in yours, Shrinking Violet by Katherine Clark

Cobaea

) and therefore better light and warmth will send them into ecstasies of flowering! I agree with Violet - even if the weather continues poor, I think that you will get a few flowers. They'll be worth the wait, you'll see. Thank you - I will await the outcome by jean riley

how to cultivate moss where there is grass

. I wouldn't bother looking on t'internet, you'll get lots of different opinions, probably most of them conflicting. Poor, wet, ill-drained soil. You will not find it easy to combine these conditions with a wild flower meadow. One or the other. damp by C15.52
