This is a celandine

[Hidden]

Oh they are lovely. Thank you so much Carole. You would never believe my dad worked as a gardener all his life would you? xx

[caroleoctober in reply to Hidden]

Obviously it wasn't in the genes, anyway it is only a weed but lovely!

[Jolyn]

Ahh, yes, that's the celandine. They remind me of buttercups except they're a lot taller aren't they and don't have so many petals. Lovely pic Carole.

[caroleoctober]

I presume you mean the buttercup is taller and has less petals because celandine are really close to the ground

[Jolyn in reply to caroleoctober]

Yes...that's what I meant...lol

I bought one of these last year Carole. It's lovely and yellow is my favourite colour. How are you doing now? Are you getting out and about yet? xx

[caroleoctober in reply to casper99]

Hi Casper thanks for your enquiry. I am walking fine without a stick, my arm brings me up short sometimes when I turn it wrong and I have two dead fingers where the nerves are trapped, but apart from fluid in my legs where they left me in bed for a month with no stockings d'oh! I am fine. That is being dealt with by the District Nurses. Where I was immobile for a month my breathing has gone down but the Respiratory nurse is going to get me on a Pulmonary Rehab course. Looking forward to a holiday in Hastings in April......something to aim for. Keep smiling

Phew Carole!!! you amaze me with your positive attitude. There's nothing like an up-coming holiday to motivate people. I know you'll get on it, your a scrapper lol. xx

[sassy59]

One of the loveliest weeds I have ever seen Carole. Hope you are keeping as well as you can. Take care xxxx

[casper99]

Oh, I didn't know it was a weed. I bought a bush with flowers on exactly the same as this.

You may have bought hypericum - that pic of the celandines looks very like them.

Brilliant, the bright yellow against the shiny green just looks so fresh. Makes me feel good just looking at them. Thanks Carole, I'm sure coughalot loved um'
