Mr Bradley, of Huddersfield, has sent me a sample of some leaves from his Kilmarnock willow, Salix caprea Pendula that have curled and are turning yellow with small brownish-purple marks.
Bog-garden plants - those that prefer marshy mud to total immersion - include ligularia with brownish-purple foliage contrasting with yellow blooms (a variety called The Rocket has splendid yellow flower spikes); candelabra primulas in a range of colours; and several attractive wild flowers - ragged robin, purple loosestrife and, if space is not a problem, the tall meadowsweet with large heads of creamy, fragrant flowers.
The dark brownish-purple, bell-shaped flowers will be joined by the trilliums and pond lilies already blooming, and the cow parsnips, delphiniums and bleeding hearts whose leaves have sprouted.
