    Hi Nollie 
    Thank you for the reply. Excellent growth rate as you say and such a lovely long flowering Salvia.
     
    Happy Gardening

    My Azaleas have finally woken up, my purple magnolia is looking splendid (although it's nearly finished flowering now) I'm delighted to finally have blossom on my peach, pear, apple, blackcurrant, blueberry, strawberries,raspberries and cherry after the non-spring we had this year. My saskatoon is still showing no sign of fruiting but it is still a very young plant so maybe next year. My roses are beginning to bud and my weigela is now blooming profusely. My azaelas look as thought they are about to pop into flower and also the rhodendron. Pieris Japonica is looking better than it ever has this year! Everything a definitely a bit behind on where it normally is at this time of year though :(

    early Rhododendron, lots and lots of lilac (smells delicious), apple blossom, cherry and pulmonarias just finishing, wallflowers, thalia daffs, allium purple sensation just starting to open, aubrietia, forget me nots, osteos, red campion, aquilegias.. foxgloves are sending up spires, as are the lupins and delphiniums.

    Couple of azaleas looking fantastic.  Another couple lagging behind by a few weeks.  Particularly looking forward to the Pontic Azalea which has amazing fragrance.

    Some new young Brunnera Jack Frost throwing out a few dainty flowers.  Virburnum Tinas looking ok.  Primroses have been great as another poster mentioned.

    By far the highlight for me though is my new Corydalis 'Korn's Purple'.  Fantastic colour.  Photo doesn't do it justice.

    This is part of my pink border I planted two years ago.  I wish the rest of my garden looked this good!  This photo was taken a few days ago, the tulips are going over now but the aquilegia is poised to take over.  That will be followed by hardy geraniums, Japanese anemone and lastly the fuchsias.  The little pink azalea which I found dumped in the street is flowering, and very excitingly, my azalea luteum, now in its third summer, is flowering for the first time.  Who says you can't grow azaleas on limestone?

    Also flowering, I have both my cherry trees (Stella and morello), my egremont russet, and my goose's arse (sic) apple, which I only bought and planted as a maiden last month.  I bought it from Ian Sturrock of Bangor who produces Welsh heritage fruit trees.  I also bought a Nant Gwrtheyrn apple and a Denbigh plum, but no blossom on those yet.  Welsh poppies, native bluebells, native and cultivated primroses, rosemary, aubretia, anemone de caen, clematis (don't ask me the variety, the flowers are small, pink and fragrant), wallflowers, anthemis punctata, myositis, herb Robert, speedwell, daisies in the lawn and dandelions in every crevice, do those count?  Oh and one of my rhubarb crowns is doing its best to flower.  It does that every year, I cut off two or three flower buds in May and then it settles down and spends the rest of the summer doing the job I pay it for.

    I meant myosotis of course.  Myositis being a muscle inflammation.
