Astrantia major 'Claret'

Morning folks, my cup (glass) overfloweth along with the Astilbe. Rained hard here, thankfully

Love astrantia, still waiting for rain here 🤞🤞

No rain here 😥

Very pretty no rain here🤗

Morning Jeremy. I'm hoping for much needed rain today ☔️

💕💕💕

Morning folks, been 'entertained' since 3am due an unexpected sleepover by our granddaughter. She's a bundle of joy if not so much at that time 😏

Morning Jeremy. We had unexpected baby sitting duties last night too but at least we could come home afterwards as it was at my daughters house 😂

Lovely to have them, lovely to hand them back 😄 @pelly

Morning Jeremy. Oh dear ....perhaps you can have 40 winks when/if she takes a nap later 👋😴

Not sure I'll be able to avoid doing so Pauline 🤣 @flof1952

Just think of all those memories your making. All worth it. Sleep later🤗

Another one that's starting earlier than last year

This was a rescue plant (from B&Q of course) that's really taken to its spot. The photo doesn't capture the vivid colour

I’m revamping the shadiest border in my garden and these have come up as a good plant for that situation but the paler ones do better in shade apparently. Love this one though ❤️❤️❤️

I do like that JP🤗

I like this one, mine are white I think - freebies from my sister a few years ago 😃

Woohoo I found this pot under another looking very sorry for itself but it's soon recovered😊 #colourcombo

Great find 🙌🏼

Nice surprise 😊

What a great surprise - looks very well on neglect isn’t nature wonderful!

Nature never fails to surprise me Joyce, it's been like that since mid-December!

Oh wow, what a find 💜💜💜

Just glad I found it in time, it was more Anjou rosé than claret! @pelly @linfoster

Looking good! Not too familiar with it though but it looks good and healthy 😊😊💚💚

It's like most astrantia but with a glorious deep red colour @midnightgardener

@jpea Ooh I'd like that then. My favourite colour 😊😊♥️♥️
