Lucky you! Lovely.

I always look forward to new life in the garden. :o)

Oh, so do I....I have a red Hamamelis, too - it has a couple of tiny ribbons appearing....it won't be long! Thanks, Wagger. :-))

Now i can see how good the little drawing by Okasia is .

Thats lovely...........

lucky you.

It's the two days of sunshine that's done it!

My Chimonanthus ( winter Sweet ) is in flower to ...I use to get these two muddled up ,

I haven't got that - don't they need acid soil - and I read somewhere that they take an age (years!) to settle down and flower....

Yes Barbara , we do have acid soil ! I put a photo of mine on here a couple of days ago .... mine is 16 years old at least , we moved here 15 years ago and brought it with us ... It only had the flowers on 4/5 years ago .......

I thought so. :-(((

Do I see another pot coming up, Spritz?

Noooooo....I love it, but waiting that number of years for flowers? Hmmmm...:-((

Just had a look at the BBC gardening page, Spritz and it will grow in well-drained/light, Acidic, Chalky/alkaline.

'Growing' is different from 'flowering', Wagger! lol.

I thought you might be prepared to wait if it was in the ground, Spritz :-(

What - 10 years???? No chance! ;-(((

Perhaps you could buy one eight years old?

Do you reckon? Hmmm...how about 10 years old? LOL.
