Love Joyce's colour combination in the pots, Picidae's tulip and wallflower mix and Yvie's walls above. I struggle with wallflowers for some reason😕
New to me this year, Ma Belle, plus a yellow friend Chanterelle, or similar name Barrett Browning Shady pondside not looking too bad for saying I moved the purple hellebore and stamped over the rest of it when making the pond in Jan. Misplaced a couple of plants but hopefully they'll reappear. Garden looking springy and not a moment too soon🙂
I haven't put pics on this thread since the change to the layout, hope they aren't too tedious to load.
Been warm and sunny at last in Manchester this week and yes it does happen sometimes. With the heat I have gone from nothing in flower to everything spring wise in flower within a week. Managed to get a start on the lawn, raked the moss out and a trim first cut which is the latest I have started cutting it. With the warmth comes pressure on the bulbs in pots keeping them well watered and with the cooler weather coming in tonight up here hopefully keep the display going for a week or two longer.
Absolutely beautiful James - what a display . Hope it keeps going for a little while. What comes after the spring bulbs? Or do I have to watch this space to find out?
Its a bit of the normal summer bedding and lilies, dahlias , agapanthus that's if they flower, buddleia and alstroemeria for pots , in the boarders there are giant Lilly, roses, geraniums, Astrantias, Hydrangea, Achillea, papaver and many more to come , I like the cottage garden plants as a whole and south Africa plants especially and try to marry it together somehow to make it look good, I play about with colour at the moment sometimes I get it wrong and like the challenge to get it right in the long run.
The first rhoddie of the year has opened. lidl cheapo tulips. I am really impress with them. So cheap and yet a bit different from my reds, yellows, pinks etc the front bed put in last year. The dafs are past their best. But dahlia will be joining the bed soon. the magnolia is dropping fast but the cherry will be in fully bloom soon.
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.

Lovely varieties of narcissi.
I still need to paint the bridge but I kind of like the colour it is🤔
