Lithodora diffusa is what we accept. I think the RHS do too

Hello there, you might remember me as Dandylionflys, oh and Tabbykits Mom. I'm back on under a new name and I have missed seeing you pictures and chatting with you. I hope you are well. Tabby told you that you were not feeling well a while back. I hope you are all better by now. You friend

Course I remember! The whole ill thing is grumbling on but I'm managing it better now. I am optimistically off to Finland to the Arctic circle for a bit of -30C snowboarding at at the end of the month. Try to get in some Husky sledding and maybe a reindeer sleigh ride too!
Glad you are back!

hey al
went to an alpine nursery a few days ago (Aberconwy) and was chatting to the lady there who said her husband (i think) shared a tent with you on the trip to Bhutan last year... isn't it strange how people are connected. Anyway, hope your well and are progressing with your phD - i'm having fun driving tractors and trailers and trying not to kill stray visitors ;0)

Not a problem I've had a ago dude but I'm not a mycologist and but ID features include gills and spores, habitat and time of fruiting etc. Generally more than a pic can achieve.

I might have a look again this year when they fruit again. I'm not particularly interested in Biology that much (Physics is more my forte'
