Late Spring garden

Apart from tulips there are some other rather lovely plants to celebrate in the garden.  Above is Erythronium Pagoda - a 'dog's-tooth violet', although they aren't violets at all.  The 'Dog's-tooth' bit comes for the shape of the bulb which looks a bit like a canine tooth. I have had these in the garden for many years and have loved seeing them...
...but they have only just started to make a decent sized clump.
Epimedium x versicolor Sulphureum (I think) was another one I have had for years.  I thought I had lost it completely but it has reappeared, much to my delight.
Camellia rosthorniana Cupido is flowering down at the bottom of the garden.
I spotted a little self-sown viola in amongst some sempervivums.
This was the colour of the sky this morning, with the Magnolia Susan flowers looking (and smelling) beautiful.
