The garden changes daily the magnolias in full flower a week ago are now a horrendous mess sweeping up thousands of petals every day so that i dont break my neck on them.
moving on to new things.


Cyclamen repandum trying to keep its head above the mess

View from another angle


Magnolia Susan looks like i had the shakes( was due for my fix)lol


Red Rhododendron with very waxy petals


Anemone blue eyes


Dodecatheon Media Alba always the first of the Dods to flower with me


Ramonda Myconi Alba grows like furry, has taken over the whole trough


Rhoodendron Silver Sixpence

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.

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.

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

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

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.

How about R. Curlew, Heron? - yellow and small enough for a container.

You worry too much about soil conditions Heron.....where there's a will, there's a way....:-))
