You have some lovely plants there bjs. I too think the garden changes daily, this is why I constantly post new pictures. Hope I do not bore anyone out there too much though!

Never boring Bjs :) I like to see what you Goyers in the south have flowering,it means ours won't be too far behind :) My rhodys are just showing colour at the tips.

lots of nice flowers, not much happening in my garden just now, cut the grass for the first time and fed it so hope this is the start .

Thanks everybody i enjoy sharing them with all of you,I missed some yesterday sarah will see what i can do in a few days
Khayla your winter must seem very long if you are still waiting for spring.Jump on a plane down to Bristol the GOY members will soon brighten your day.
Heron R.Crest is more beautiful than the photo the light seems to reflect off it and you loose a lot, its one I can just stand and look at ,

It must lift your heart every morning when you go out there, Bjs - must be worth a bit of sweeping, (Worth it for us, anyway - your pictures are superb). What colour would you paint Susan - and why? lol
1 May, 2010
Lol .Wagger thats a thought my Acyrlics would do a nice Gentian Blue, blue is my favorite colour it would not be quite the same
1 May, 2010
Bjs you have brightened my day already and the Goy members do the same when I read the blogs I think I need to empty my pots and put new compost in .

I'd really like R Crest but my soil is too alkaline.
1 May, 2010
How about R. Curlew, Heron? - yellow and small enough for a container.
1 May, 2010
You worry too much about soil conditions Heron.....where there's a will, there's a way....:-))

I agree it would grow in a container for a number of years,I have a some in large pots but i would probably not show them in the photos next lot i will show a pot. lol

What beautiful plants you have...lovely photos...not a lot of colour in my garden at the moment as we are heading into in winter - never mind, only another 3 months and it'll be spring again...yaaay.

Oh I do like that Rhoodendron ‘Crest’ but then they're all so nice. The sweeping up is a small price to pay for such a beautiful garden.
