Oooh! Turns out the campanula left down in the nursery were a present for *me* to put in! Noice! Can't find the variety on the label, just a name "Nostalgie" there's nothing online about, but I *think* they might be Campanula portenschlagiana, an alpine perennial. #Rakesden

I'm off to the shops now, but on my return it shall be time to have a think about where to put them. Many thanks to @cyrillepradal for the new plants! Excited to find a nice home for them!

First thoughts on placement of the campanula.

Ended up switching the colours round though, so the purple picks up on that of the lavender, with the bellflowers on the path edge of Laburnumley (though you can barely see them through the feverfew) as a third point in the triangle.

Hopefully they'll spread a bit as they establish and bring that sense of profuse froth where the geraniums and feverfew mix round into that patch in front of the rose, with the salvia and echinacea poking up through them. In theory.

Another seedling moved from a corner of Langshaw and potted up. One big ash and a bunch of wee yins, but is the bottom left and odd man out or is it just me? It has the same groove pattern on the leaves but they seem much rounder and darker.

Everything else looks much of a muchness to me, so if the big one is ash, it looks to me like they all are. Except that one at the bottom in the first pic confuses me.
