    Mainly snowdrops and hellebores out at the moment. Daffs are in bud but not opening outside yet.  I think my Geranium palmatum are likely to have died, they are looking poorly at the moment.
  • I am very jealous of all this springiness!  I have never planted any spring bulbs or whatnot, as I don't know what I'm doing.. I also worry I would dig up or damage some of my summer flowering bulbs putting them in (I only really have a couple of borders to play with and they are getting jam packed with bulbs and perennials).  After seeing some of these posts, I think I will pot up lots of spring pots!  Is there anything that I could put in a pot so that I get spring flowers, and then when they die off, summer growth comes through?  So maybe a pot with hyacinths and summer lillies?!  I am a complete novice :)

    I tend to have lilies in big terracotta pots, and separate pots for spring bulbs. You can layer spring bulbs, although the one you can see has the wrong tulips in. They are early flowering and flower before the daffs.

    Is anyone else with slow Internet having problems seeing photos? I can see Leadfarmer's snowy garden but all the others are little white crosses on a black background. I wonder if it will work at a different time of day.

    They take forever for me BL. If there's more than one I have to go away and do something else!
    The quality is great when they do arrive, but it makes threads like this one quite laborious to catch up with!

    I think the problem for some users is the size of the images - Fidget has embedded them from photo-hosting site and they link to images 4000x3000 pixels, which I can see on the PC when I click them.  I'd guess some web browsers on some devices are downloading the full size image and then resizing to suit the display which all takes extra download and processing time.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    I've loaded the photos direct from the file on my Macbook.  Photos taken today, old Sony camera , connected camera to Laptop. Pictures taken from iphoto. Not amended in any way, too techy for me.

    Aha, I think the forum must be hosting them on another system - your snowdrops pic links to https://us.v-cdn.net/6030279/uploads/editor/hq/hv89vuym9o6s.jpg
    It's great to be able to see full size images though!
