Its not yet spring but lets make believe

And if we are not in GB, we can stay in cold?

Great blog Brian, love that hepatica..

No you can have a big Hug & cuddle will get a flight tomorrow.lol

All so very pretty! The snowdrop is amazing! I have seen crocus and white hellebore out in a London park today!

Katarina that's an offer you can't refuse!

I do not cuddle with foreigners who come from cold, Brian. What flight?

Excellent blog Brian thank you for sharing.

Sorry, forgot to add those troughs are brilliant.

There are some more good colours to come on the Hepaticas,no mice up to now they had a lot of them last year.

That Stradbrook 'Satin Rose' is beautiful. You have a lot of bright pink in the glass houses. Plenty of colour to keep as all smiling.

Loved this blog Bjs & all the flowers you have shown us...:>)

They are all a cheery sight. That's for sure. I've done another 2 of those troughs with just 1 left to finish.
That greenhouse of yours must be an amazing sight!

Wonderful Blog I was amazed of the 9th photo, lovely color:-)))

I enjoyed your blog.

Wow Brian . . . terrific to see the beautiful results of all your hard work :))

What a fabulous selection Brian , so nice to see them this early in the season gives us hope for things to come :o))

Brill lovely plants, cheered me up. Spring is is is is just around the corner, trouble is it seems to be a big bend at the minute. Thanks for a lovely blog.

I like that one to, no dought it would be difficult to grow in your warm climate.

A pleasure to see the spring flowers on a very cold but sunny day, really like the first one Bjs but they are all lovely..

Thanks BJ....your plants are beautiful.

Looks like spring to me BJS.

lovely flowers and colour Brian to cheer us up,
iv not started anything yet, not easy not having a greenhouse, so i wait for warmer weather, enjoyed seeing your blog though :o))

Nice to see the plants coming on Brian. You are definitely a few weeks ahead of us; I am hoping to have a few allionii and crocus for a display in ten days time, but I am not very confident.

A breath of fresh air there , Bjs , I especially liked the first one , and the snow drop is beautiful .
Did I miss the blog on how to make troughs ?
What is Sticki doing in London ?

Driad
Yes it was a while ago 2011 I think,Scottish did one last year,depends how far you want to go back.
The Primula Stradbrook Flounce is one I bred about ten years ago.

Brian's troughs are like his cardboard boxes.......they are an art form.

lol definitely an art form. lol. how clever to design your own troughs and so cheap as all the boxes that have packaging have polystyrene in. Such a good idea to recycle - and will keep everything warm and cosy. I would never have thought of that. Brilliant idea. :O)

hello driad ~ visiting oldest son ~ and going to the park!!!

Such pretty flowers Bjs, it must be lovely to have a greenhouse and colour all year round:-)

Bilbo & Ba
It is very pleasant out of the freezing wind today to be able see things growing a little bit every day,within a couple of days flowers should open on a very pretty Japanese Hepatica Narcissus Cyclamineus and and one of the yellow and white snowdrops.more to follow.

Always something to look forward to:-)) Have you heard from Margo ?:-)

I can't find if Bjs . I'll ask Scotish about it .
Just being nosey , Sticki , hope that you enjoyed the trip .

no problem driad ~ i had a lovely time thank you.

What beautiful plants you grow, Brian! I can't really decide which is my favourite...I love Hepaticas, but that first frilly Primula is just lovely. It must give you real pleasure going in to tend your plants. :-)
