Viburnum.

Isn’t that doing well🤗

Thanks Dd, it’s pretty big. We try to keep it at a height of 7 feet, otherwise it would just grow and grow. The laurel is level with it too. The osmanthus is slightly shorter as is the box. Just to give me a little shaped hedge at the side.

Wow what a lovely show its given you.

THAT'S SUPER KATE. IT;S WARMING UP WITH THE WEATHER SO ANY EARLY BEES OR BUTTERFLIES WILL HAVE SOME FOOD. IN FACT WE SAW A BUTTERFLY TWO DAYS AGO.

Thanks Thrup and Linda! I’m lucky it delivers every year! At least it’s one of my flowering shrubs that has bloomed 😁
I’ve seen several bees, but no butterflies yet. Looking forward to a garden filled with swarming things again, well, not the wasps!

I am sure your others will bloom soon Kate we have nt had the best of weathers.
Lol yes those pesky wasps .

Thanks Thrup, I think you’re probably right, the weather has really mixed things up hasn’t it! Timings of plants and bulbs flowering have been quite slow :-)

Well we be mainly had wet damp and windy weather not a lot of long term frost in most parts of the UK this winter and some plants need that coldness . I ve found if we get a spell of really cold frost some of my plants have had more flowers on them.

That makes sense, Thrup. I’d rather have a frosty morning than a wet, miserable one.

Thanks Arija.

Me to Kate.

Its looking marvellous Kate ,packed with blooms ..

Thanks Amy, it’s one of my shrubs that does pretty well.
