Nearly the end of May and we've yet to have a spell of really good growing weather this year.

When I was writing this yesterday evening it was very obvious that another bout of rain was not far off.

You know how it goes; you go to a garden, Rosemoor in this instance and see a plant you simply must have, Polygonatum x hybridum 'Betburg' on this outing.
