The photo is from Junes trip to Harlow Carr.A ruby red coloured Astrantia Major, like the one I planted yesterday.
I bought two lots of seed potatoes (King Edward, and Nadine) , two onion sets (Stuttgarter and Red Karmen), and some seeds for carrots, brussel sprouts, and Parsnips.
Also bought today three Coneflowers, three Cornflowers, a Blueberry bush, some Blue bulbs (Iris, Gladiolus, and Anemone De Caen). Fran gave me the Freesia Bulbs too.
I found a Frog ornament for £1 and some French Marigold seeds...
The excitement of a new challenge up at the Forgotten Plot made me buy the gardening stuff first, then food shopping afterwards. Cat is better and might go home tomorrow too from the hospital. A good end to my Birthday.

Ah, Astrantia....I just discovered them last summer and I'm in love with each and every one I see. I don't think I'd ever tire of them!
Your Astrantias are lovely. I always have wanted to plant some but never did. Seeing yours reminds me to put some on my list.
Thanks Kylee,I saw and photographed them first at Harlow Carr.I love the flowers, and they are on the top of my blog every time i look...
