Pre Goy(for me at least)

BJ this was a real pleasure and such an enjoyable blog.

Lovely blog Brian. Amost interesting garden.
That is the joy of Goy.
Thank you.

Brian what a great blog. Just look at the selection you had/have. Is that double pink in pic 5 a primula? If so do you have a name?
You devotion amazes me!
Agree about Jamie... He wants all the toys a once it seems a:)
That orchid and fern combo looks great and your now deceased tree fern was a stunner!

Lovely to see all those colourful auricula primulas Brian. Lovely blog.

I do love the reds and greens and sparkles of Christmas, BUT, oh my, when I saw all those lovely spring colours, lemons and mauves and whites I just smiled!

You joined three months before me........

The auriculas are stunning singly and together and
I know what you mean about 'meant to do'
Some things we do and enjoy 'feel just right'
Merry christmas x

I always say that this is the garden of dreams and my goal for next three re-incarnations as a gardener, lol. Love your terrace, Brian, almost like the one in Tulln Gardens in Austria :) Those blue primroses which look like little roses on the sixth picture are excellent! What a pity your fern tree died. It must have been magnificient.
Beautiful retrieving nun, by the way :))) I bet this is your assistant :)

:o) We are what we are Bjs :o) Plants are us maybe we should call ourselves. lol. love the decking, now theres an idea only kidding. lol.

lovely garden - shame about the tree fern - but all looks very pretty

Nice to have the photos for so many memories. :o)

What a wonderful show Brian ,your garden has been a real credit to you despite our strange weather this year .. :o))

great garden Brian.!

Ah! A young Jamie!! and a lovely garden!

Brian its been a pleasure to see your photo`s, the Auricula`s are amazing, I didn`t know there were so many to choose from until I joined Goy and that has been the same with so many plants and shrubs, every year I say I am cutting back and not growing so much therefore making life easier in the garden but it never works out that way, lol..
The pic of Jamie amused me as we have many like that of our boys with their toys and Brynner has a thing about the curtains in the sitting room and is always under them, our own fault for having a patio window when he was a pup..
A great blog, Merry Christmas Brian to you and yours....

Wonderful blog Bjs...Adore the orchids...:>)

lovely to see such colour Brian on a winter day and jamie looks so cute with his toys there, lovely pictures :o)

lovely pics Brian, i say every year i will cut down on pots under cover but somehow i always end up with more, nice to see that trillium there i have the same a great plant. hope you all have a great Christmas.

good job OH did not want me to build three houses to choose from.

surrylad well spotted it is establised in the garden now,
did you spot narcissus rupicola!

scottish
yes ,a semi double primrose raised from seed many years ago different to most double primroses in that it produces divisions that can be divided up,there are a couple of flowers of sorts on it now.

No i missed that , i've just gone back to see it :-))

From having visited you this summer for the first time Brian I think you got your wires crossed when you thought you would grow less. As you say its something you have to do and I and many other members are fortunate that you decided to join Goy. You have not lost any of your enthusiasm for your beloved plants and your garden is a joy to visit. I too have that trillium and I wondered what the green leaves were in the 4th and 5th pics. I take it that is the N. rupicola. I enjoyed looking at what used to be there.

good blog Brian, love the shot of Jamie

Lovely blog Bjs. Jamie looks as though he was having fun to

WOW!!! SPECTACULAR TOO ,Bjs, Looking back your beautiful Blogssss:-)))))

Its great to see this again.

I like looking back sometimes and often have difficulty believing that one or other plant looked that good.
I also have a piece of paper in front of me with a few words written on it,that was quoted by another Goy member and something I believe in.
< May your memories never become greater than your dreams >
