I'm impressed by coolsox.

But I think no 1 is Crocosima!

Montbretia is the common name for Crocosmia hybrids. They are more commonly referred to Montbretia in the UK and Crocosmia in the USA

It's a nice selection of plant photos Sophie. If you took them all locally then your area is quite unlike mine. I would never see the eyebright or the restharrow. But I do have viper's bugloss in my garden which is lovely plant to grow but thought not to be tortoise-edible.

I've tried feeding meadowsweet but my torts are not that interested in it.
