Well hello my ol’ online friend @Ann72! What a wonderful post!
I’m so glad you put up an image as I had NO IDEA what on earth “cobweb hens and chicks” could be! I thought immediately of the ol’ henhouse… minus foghorn leghorn! Lol
(Yes I know the cross reference is completely random). 🌻
It must be an incredibly hardy little plant to handle the weather, but such a pretty display of optimistic colour. Does it come in other shades or just this pretty pink?
I imagine you’ll have no trouble finding some beautiful gardens in England as they are scattered everywhere. From yards to parks, the local greens and of course window pots. The bulbs should be beginning to make a showing soon with spring on the horizon. But a “local” can give you abundant information when there. Kew comes to mind, but you’d have to visit the website. 🌻
But as an aside, the 23rd March was Eucalypt Day here in Australia. Although there is many variety of gum / acacia trees and some in other parts of the world, we have so many varieties to suit the different geographical locations, from alpine to the tropics. The koalas have a specific one they eat as well.
So Ann, hear is a little doodle from me for Eucalypt Day. https://www.eucalyptaustralia.org.au/eucalyptoftheyear/
“Give me a home among the gum trees, with lots of plum trees, a sheep or to and a kangaroo… “ as the John Williamson’s song goes…….
