Montbretia

I have two clumps of montbretia which is flowering nicely, and another which is completely blind. I wonder why. It is a lovely splash of colour in the garden. I did a bit of tidying in the garden on a dull but dry day.
Not content with digging up N’s lawn, the badgers have now started on my flower beds. (Extra) His Lion Poo doesn’t seem to deter them.
