pirl,
I appreciate your commnet. Yes I mad it all by myself. The plant in the basket is Primula malacoides.
Red-stemmed one blooms pink green-stemmed one white.

dale,
Your photos are always bautiful. I'm enchanted.
The viola you mentioned is hybridized in Japan. Could you imagine that it consists of only one plant.
Lots of new varieties are hybridized each year and inspire the gardener within.
Too bad the seeds are not available.

Liz,
So happy to hear from you again. The big white spike is a big FC,can you imagine?
In March the center of FC develops and bears yellow flowers on top.
The pic is taken just before that. I think it's far more spectacular than white Digitalis .Don't you agree?

Linda,
FC ends up just looking like what I wrote to Liz above. This pink FC grows as tall as 25inches by nature. I grew them densely in pots without using dwarfers. I'm pretty satisfied withh the result.

Carrie,
I'll add the pics soon.
I found many beautiful pics here.
