A very short blog on an April evening . . .

Hi Sheila ..
Such a pretty garden ..
the variegated white honesty is fascinating :o)

Its amazing whats in flower at the moment, its a lovely spring......

That last photo is delightful, Sheila. We are indeed enjoying a lovely Spring.

beautiful!

Lovely, especially the honesty.

I do love that Acer and Pieris bed of yours Sheila - it's just gorgeous! The honesty looks lovely with the blue of the forget me nots. A very colour bed too.

I loved that variegated honesty, have the common one, never seen a variegated one, lovely. :O)

Gosh - thank you all for your lovely comments :) Last year I saved seed from the variegated Honesty for my neighbour, and he's thrilled with the result this year. I'll do the same again in summer, so will take orders from GoYers who PM me.

I agree that bed does look amazing Sheila even with the interloper butting into your pic, the rest looks lovely as well.
I am a bit confused now, I have sown a pkt of seed that my daughter passed to me, it was a freebie from a g'magazine last year, the pic on the front looks nothing like your flowers which really are pretty and its called Honesty,
oh well I guess thats going to be a case of wait and see, lol....

I think "quite good" is an understatement, Sheila. It all looks lovely. The garden is full of colour. I adore Honesty - I have purple, and white and a slightly different shade of purple that I've never seen before. No variegated, though, so if you've any seeds left when you've taken the orders... ;-)

I shall make a note in my GoYers notebook, Susanne. You definitely deserve some seeds for saying such nice things!! (I've just looked, and I still have your address.) x

I love the first photo Sheila - the colours and contrasting foliage are just beautiful.

Thank you Shirley, I just wish the colours were clearer - I don't think my hand was steady enough!

Put 'Tripod' on your shopping list Sheila! :o)

Looks lovely - I think those little pale blue flowers dotted around are gorgeous! :))

I sowed variegated honesty months ago in a 3in pot and still nothing - don't know what I've done wrong for all of them not to germinate!

Lol, Shirley - I would knock a tripod over!

Yes, I like the forget-me-nots too, Aileen. Shame about your Honesty seeds . . . that's really bad luck :(

Apologies Lincs . . . didn't mean to 'ignore' you :( Hope your seeds germinate, and you'll be able to identify the plant!

Glorious!
You have such a beautiful garden in every way and I love looking at it.

Oooh Chris - you're so kind - thank you very much :)))

Thanks, Sheila! :-)
