Little Leo

or, Doronicum, although the common name is very apt as the flowers do have a lionesque quality to them.  I bought this plant in a supermarket a couple of years ago and it has taken that time to really mature into a worthwhile cluster.  This year the slugs and snails have taken a back seat and given it a chance and the baby rabbits havn't eaten them yet!

The other photograph is of polyanthus in the evening light.
