We had our youngest Granddaughter for the day the other day. After the tidy up when she’d gone home, I took my camera out just to see how things were doing…


This a new rose, ‘Compassion’ purchased to go around one of two arches in the garden.


Echeveria Glauca


Pieris ‘Forest Flame’ doing well this year.


Choisya ternata, just about to open. I love it’s perfume but I know there are others who don’t


A young Sarcococca confusa. Lots of berries for the birds.


Calluna Vulgaris Dark Star.


Heuchera Obsidian.


Arabis ‘Little Treasure’ a new purchase I’m hoping will spread.


Calluna Vulgaris ‘Velvet Fascination’


Gypsophila cerastioides


Ranunculus ‘Brazen Hussy’


Drumstick Primula ‘denticulata Rubin’


Yellow tulips


Camellia


Fritillaria Melleagris


Marsh Marigold Caltha Palustris and one other pond plant.


Tulip ‘Red Riding Hood’


Cyclamen Hederifolium


Anyone for tea?


Helleborus ‘Tutu’ who I call Desmond!

Thanks for looking. Lets hope the weather warms up again soon. We have both girls tomorrow, so I don’t suppose there’ll be much time spent gardening!

Ha Ha I love mad areas in the garden (apologies). My husband over the years has given up trying to stop me adding little bits here and there. Had to move an owl as the birds got quite upset and I suddenly realised nests could be compromised. Never thought about using a tea set!!!

Love the Cyclamen.
