Spirea Goldflame on a wet bank holiday sunday

The daffs and star flowers bloom while shrub is still leafless. Then intense leaf colour as leaves unfold. Then pink flowers. Then good autumn colour. See questions.

That certainly brightens up a wet day, Dorjac.

It is a compromise front garden. It looks like a dessert really!! This plant was grown from a seedling in a paving crevice near my backgarden Goldflame. So it was a freebie. The other one in the other slot was a bought plant. It has reddish tips to the leaves. This one was pulled up soon after planting and dumped in Alf's window box next door. It survived the vandalism!!! So I don't want pots in the front garden. Care and watering and probably vine weevil would saunter round and lay their eggs.
