wow busyL lovely pic we have a leonard messel, bought with vouchers 5 years ago and i have had to nurture it. The slugs/snails eat the buds and then last year all the buds dropped in feb/march time. I put it in copper planter a few years ago and this seems to have tackled the molluscs it's in a big glazed pot now as I didn't want to risk the ground i'll look forward to better flowers this year
This reminded me that I was sure we had bought one. Searched through the boss's diary and yes we had. Fortunately she had also written down where i had planted it. Still took some finding though. Looking healthy. Now if only I could find the M. Yellow Birs I planted around the same time.
Amd Budlia63, I will be taking the leaves off the H. x orientalis in a few weeks time, weather permitting. The other types do not need that kind of treatment.
The problem is we can't 'shut' threads, so people doing searches find old threads and add to them - not a problem - we can look at them and move on - we're not compiling an archive are we? We're just showing each other our pictures

I've had it 12 years, but it hasn't changed much in the last 3 years.

Lily louise i have just watched your video tour of your garden and I am sick with envy!!

Happy New Year
I have resolved to take photos of garden on 1st of every month. Don't know if I will be able to keep it up. Rmember it is a new garden!
This is wonderful all year. In the past dark days it blows and ripples in the wind. I have loads of it.
This is Fairy Dell. Very much work in progress but hopefully will be completed, as much as any part of a garden is, by late spring
Just a few pics of my garden taken this morning.
I am slightly confused by this thread that jumps from 01/01/2013 post to today!
Is there two threads with similar names?
The old thead was 'shut' and a new thread for this year Garden Gallery 2013 was opened and is very active.
There are some lovely photos on this thread added to day that should be on Garden gallery 2013
