Rheum ready to flower

For a youngster, he looks very sturdy :)

how exciting Dawn, bet you cant wait :o)

I know Gee, weird really after that bad Winter.
No Sandra, I can't wait, I think and hope it will be a pink flower. Do you like my bridge?! John built me a couple :-)

i love your bridge Dawn, clever john, i fancied a small one over my pond, on baz`s list with my arch lol

Thanks Sandra, I do John lists to Sandra, lol.

lol must be a woman thing Dawn hahah

Well we try Sandra, just in case they have nothing else to do, lol.

lol yes very true Dawn haha

Yes I like your bridge, could do with one over our new pond (in a barrel...) your lake must be larger than our garden lol

Lol Dotty. When the pond re establishes after last year's clear out I'll take more pics. Quite nice now as we have two bridges that lead to the island in the middle.

It does sound wonderful Dawn.....

Im slowly getting there with it. I've noticed a few bulrushes appearing which can go crazy if left unchecked, must get my waders on, lol.

Love it, I have one waiting to go into a new border, or maybe I'll just put it beside the new (when I get it) pond.

Get one in the new border and get another for the pond lol. They are easy to grow from seed Helen x

What a great idea Dawn, I didn't think about growing from seed.. oh you are a clever girl! x

Lol, not really Helenium but quite satisfying when they grow.

It looks wonderful Dawn , we bought Ian one for his pond at the weekend ,he was thrilled with it :o)

Thanks Amy, Ian is a lucky boy! I like the rheum, come up much earlier than the gunnera and seem a bit tougher. The rheum got tinged with the frost but the gunneras are well, brown now :-(
