Acer Brilliantisimum (spelt something like that) The two week wonder. the glass house below is 12ftx12ft so not for the border
Ferns take on there fresh and sometimes weird appearance as they unfurl

I am sure some of you have seen similar pictures in previous years that I have posted all I can say is that each year the garden matures that bit more so hope you enjoy.

What wonderful pictures Brian, love the picture of Acer Brilliantisimum, I grew it at the last house we lived in and have forgotten what a Gem it is! love your Puddle Duck family too, they have scrubbed up nicely for the Spring;0)

The duck family made me smile Bjs. The Acer Brilliantisimum in your space is a beautiful specimen.
The rest of your garden is" brilliant - isimum" as well :-)

Your garden is so much further on than mine Brian. It looks so lovely.

Don't worry I will be looking at yours when mine is all finished for another year.

Your Acers are lovely. I bought a Clemati multiblue last year, the pic on the label shows a central boss of purple, yours looks more like an Alpina at the moment. Do you get a later flowering with more anemone-like flowers?

I liked the Acers very much as well! I can't grow them on a small balcony butt here are several nice ones in a park in the centre of town as well as in a few gardens around town.
I also thought the duck family was brilliant! :-))

A jungle lol visitors are given Jamie on a lead so you don't get lost, you may have to wait a while but he always finds his way back to his food supply.
it's by know means the largest on goy mine is a little over 1/4 acre sloping away from the kennel

Thanks bjs, my top growth (multi blue) has just withered, hope its just the cold snap and not Clematis wilt!
