White seems to be in vogue at the moment..:o)

My Choisya sundance is dreadful. The last few weeks of cold really hit it. Yesterday I cut off all the dead material and hopefully it will recover like yours has.

Looking good. The weather has been great and I've planted some summer bedding plants....

Sorry yours isn't too good just now Karen..It's a shame they are so susceptible to cold and frost,and mine was hit too,but only the odd leaf or two this year...luckily,they do seem to recover .I'm sure it will be looking better already,with the dead stuff removed :o)

Thank you Lindak..I have risked planting a few overwintered Pelargoniums,as they seem quite sturdy..but other summer bedding is back in the cold frame at night..maybe next week..if I can wait that long !

Beautiful flowers on your Red Robin Sandra and your Choisya Sundance has come back a treat your garden is looking very pretty and colourful.

This looks lovely. My very tall Red Robin which I do not prune has flowered this year and never before but the one I prune every year never has.

Did you see a question about flowering Photinias today? Hope the questioner sees this blog!
Your border's looking great Sandra!

Choysias do pick up quite quickly after frost damage.Lovely Photinia,Bloomer.

It looks great Sandra a very pretty border and selection of shrubs ,I mentioned to 3p on her photo that I had never seen so many flowers on Photinias as I have this year they seem to be in abundance everywhere ... x

I love white in the garden. It can brighten up a dark corner so well.

Spot on Li da. Especially on a day like today!

I've seen quite a few in flower this year Sandra and like you I had no idea they flowered. The long boarder looks really well established. i'm hoping to plant my baskets etc out this week. Let's hope this weather lasts, just the right temperature for gardening.

Sorry for not replying sooner to all your kind comments,but my laptop has been playing up for a little while,and hopefully the nice Techy Doctor has made it better,although,I'm struggling to get to grips with Google Chrome now,which he installed ! hey ho :o( At least I've made progress,by finding you all again :o)It seems like lots have had flowers this year too...I have had this one approx. 5/6 years,and it's never been pruned..It's only had some tips nipped out to promote new red growth..I may have to prune it next year..thank you all once again..nice to be back :o) x

Looking lovely, photinias do seem to be flowering really well this year.

Sandra, it's great to see the Photinias in flower, something I have not really noticed before. My neighbour has a couple against our boundary fence and the white flowers are gorgeous. Glad your computer is up and running again. Thanks for the PM, hope to reply soon ... :o)

Hi Sandra I didn't know red robin flowered!
Iv had mine just two yrs, how long do they take!
Looks lovely x

Neither did I,Sandra,and thank you..I've had mine approx 5 years? but I just think it's been the right conditions for them this year..So many seem to have been like this..let's hope it's going to be the norm in future :o)

Hope so Sandra and hopefully mine will :)

Never been keen on red robin, but yours looks lovely with its flowers:)

I like your 'long border' in the second pic, it could be in a stately home!

Lol,Siris,a compliment indeed,thank you..Maybe I could start charging people as they come around the corner,as it can't be seen till then.Our neighbours being the exception ,of course .:o)
