I hope Nora manages to sort something out for those of us with poor Internet. I still can't see many of the photos.
Now I'll see if I can post any, they are all under 2MB. Signs of spring at last, but rain is forecast yet again for most of next week.
Very nice pictures :-) Please tell me what the purple flower-carpet in the bottom-left corner of picture 3 is? I like it so much, would love to have it my garden. Thanks.
Oxford. The City of Dreaming Spires.
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth
My magnolia and cherry this time last year. the magnolia has already flowered and dropped most of its flowers And the cherry blossom was out.
Todays photo shows plenty of flower buds but none fully open and no blossom on the cherry at all yet.
The best years are if they flower together. The backdrop of bright pink for the magnolia is one of my favourite spring sights. but again not going to happen this year.
To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.
As you can see, I am a naturalist gardener! Here's a photo from last year of a delphinium, a firethorn bush (to the right - just sprung up there!), a wild rose trained, over the rainbow!, from next door (shh!) and in the background is my lawn meadow.
A 'weed' is just a plant in the wrong place - subjective!
Oh good. They're the same size as I've posted before and no one seemed to have a problem so hopefully that was a blip.
They are a fantastic colour aren't they? Sarah Raven describes them as the colour of beetroot ... I think they're more the colour of pickled red cabbage
It's the first time I've grown N. Sailboat ... I'm very pleased with them, they're so elegant.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Eustace, Bob is right, it's aubretia, it seeds itself all over the terrace in gaps between the stones.
I can see all the pictures today, after a little wait, lovely, wild flower's arrived first.
