    Panda - looks like an iberis to me - don't have any in my garden, but looking at the lists lots of people do.  I am sure someone will confirm or deny.

  • I have seen marigolds still in  flower and a few early clematis .My primroses are out and the poly s but weather to bad to venture looking down the garden.

    Wow, Nut.

    I forgot shrubs, have Viburnum Tinus and Mahonia Charity as well.

    That is an Iberis, on my list too.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    I've only counted Flower, flowers so I win I have millions of other stuff...Lol. imageimage

    This thread as also cheered me up. Later in the week I'm going to spend some time looking at the Garden Gallery 2013, and look at all the great pics and videos forkers have posted and start planning for next year.

    Good idea KEF. Perhaps looking  back at everyone's pix just now would get us thinking of new things to try in our gardens this year and also fire our imagination - new layouts or colour schemes. I tend to have more foliage plants than flowery flowers as structure's important to  me. In Scotland it's vital to have all year round planting as we spend a lot of time looking out the window at our gardens in the pouring rain!  Seeing my phormiums and all the other 'green' shrubs and plants is lovely during this miserable weather. Spring can take a long time in coming here image 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
