Flowering Today .....

A selection of beautiful and unusual, very nice Louise

Smashing pics Louise! Such wonder and colour on your garden and love seeing the different varieties you seem to have.

Your pics are, as always, superb!

A real plantslady's garden. The Clementine aquilegia is unusual and pretty too. If I get any special ones I never seem to see them again.

lovely!

I get the feeling that each of these is your personal baby: they certainly deserve to be!

Thanks everyone :-)
Sarah, you're right .... i love flowers and get a bit over-excited about them all
;-)

Nothing wrong with that Louise ... : o ) )

:-))))

Favourite pic....Number one ! Its beautiful......

Isn't it just :-)))

lovely plants and pictures louise, so colourfull ;o))

beautiful plants, lovely photos.

That centaurea is fab-u-lous! but what about that loropetalum...never seen this before...it is wonderful! Is this quite rare Louise, or is it just too tender for Scottish gardens? I have never ever come across it....

Thanks Karen, that centaurea's gorgeous isn't it :-)))

The Loropetalum is a bit difficult in some gardens .... it's reputed to be quite tender but it seems okay here !
Even more surprising is that i planted in the autumn - or was it actually the winter .... either way, it shouldn't have survived the winter but it did !

I know Spritz lost hers and another friend lost hers the winter before.
They're a relative of the common yellow flowered witch hazel - this one's bronze leaved and pink flowered :-)))
I think i might relocate it to a place where it's easier to see it - at the mo it's in a mixed border and i think perhaps it should stand alone.

A wonderful selection of your "babies" Louise.....not sure which is my favourite.....will have to have a little think......:-o)

A lovely display of flowers and all blooming so early!

lots of lovely flower sout in your garden............

i have never seen a white Centaurea, i have the purple one i love that one though.
You have the same taste as me in plants Louise, out of those above i have 5 in my garden :) Lovely photos as always

Well, great minds and great taste Sk ;-))
Thanks everyone, glad you're enjoying them aswell as me :-)

Thanks for the info Louise...never mind....when I move to Somerset (in my dreams) I'll grow it there!

wow so many plants inflower already!! Mine are a good few weeks behind you and I've nowhere near that amount of variety Lucky you

beautiful blog. thanks for sharing.

beautiful plants & photos...

everything's looking good Louise, love the first one. Your wave border has really come on hasn't it :)))

Thanks Madabout, Seaburn, Elsie and Grindle :-)
Grindle, yes, i'm pleased with that side because it looks just how i wanted it to !

It's great when it works out that way isn't it :))))

Yes .... it's the difference between sitting and looking admiringly and breaking your back doing all the hard graft :-)))))

A lovely array of plants Louise, shall we see a long shot of the border later on perhaps.

I keep trying to get a nice shot but it doesn't come out well ..... need a posh wide-angled lens really !

Have only just caught up on your recent blogs, Louise, so forgive the delay in posting! :~((
