I always consider today as the first day of spring - it was my favourite Auntie’s brthday 🌼. And in her honour my first camellia flower has chosen to bloom
😎😎😎😎😎....no place for subtlety at this time of year .....I need knock your socks off colour 😎😎😎😎
Morning. That Camillia is vey cheerful @chicky - mine one isn’t out yet. We had a Heron visit this morning! I wonder if he is seeking out the frogs? We have a pond with some large grass carp/koi but (luckily) its a bit murky just now so the sleeping fish should be safe. Have a good day all.
@chicky, that’s a gorgeously bright Camelia, my red one is out in flower but looks horrible, they just get brown and soggy, others are nowhere near out.
I’m going to dig your shrub up and see if it’s rooted, it’s budding so I think it may have been successful, fingers crossed.
Off to start some seeds going, some now some next week.

We have a mild and misty
morning and the dawn chorus has only just faded away.
Hope the cyclones arent aren’t too bad @Pat E and that folk can
be kept safe.

It’s amazing how well the couch grass did in last year’s drought 😤
