You been having a spelling bee on magic words Cn?.I love it when things flower for the first time so undertand your excitement,things are looking good as regards your garden and if your weather is like ours today your water butt will soon be overflowing.....

Well done CN, All is looking well in your garden, Great isn't it? My NF flowered last year, the spike was huge wit dark red flowers, Amazing I Thought..

Love your blog. Just goes to show that not everything good has a big price tag. You can't buy the pleasure you'll get from all those wonderful things. My New Zealand Flax is also throwing a flower spike for the first time and I'm looking forward to finding out what it looks like as I don't think I've seen one in flower before.

Linclass, hehe! That big word comes from a super childhood film! Stupidly I can't remember the name of it, but it's the one where the car flys! The children also get tricked into a "sweetie's" van and get kidnapped! Do you know which one I mean? My son did the 50mile cycle ride today and got rather wet! (but he did acutally wear his waterproofs, so that was something!)

Marguerite, a water butt collects rainwater from the water pipes, which in turn collects water from the roof of the house when it's raining. It's great for ponds and watering plants, esp. plants that only like rain water and not tap water.

Toto, you're right there! I've also never seen a N.Z. flax in flower before either, so will enjoy watching it "come out!"

~you are right everything eventually comes to those who wait~Just seen my first woodpecker in my back garden~do
you mean chitty chitty bang bang!?

Wow girl your getting all over excited you’ll blow a gasket!! It all looks fantastic I love this time of year it's all happening. :0)

Craftnutter, you're getting your musicals mixed up. Super .... etc is from Mary Poppins not Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. But I know how you feel!

oh hunny, its all looking fab, its things like this that make you really enjoy life and "Balls" to bills for 5 minutes

ive put 2 pics up of the flower and the height of it!

No wonder you're full of the joys - everything looks so good. Do you add "a spoonful of sugar" to your plant food, by any chance? :-)

Oh, and "Happy Birthday" to you today !!

Arlene, woodpecker's are a sight to behold, aren't they? Well done! And Yes! Chitty chitty bang bang was the film I was thinking of, thanks! teehee!!

Never mind Mookins, I went to the garden centre in Diss, the Bressingham one, but it was a bit disappointing, nothing like the fabulous plants they used to have when Alan Bloom was still alive.

Only bought a pack of Osteopermums to underplant the Clematis'. I'm hoping to be well enough to plant them tommorrow and pray for no rain for me! Lol!!
