    my primroses just keep flowering all through the year.  They love all seasons in Bristol.  This one is in a crack in a crazy paving path.

    Very easy.  This one is in partial shade in my woodland walk but the one in the Phyllogeny Garden in the Bristol botanic Garden where i am a volunteer gardener is in full sun and performs beautifuklly every year - a sheer delight.  It does have a bark mulch every year topped up so I would try to give woodland edge conditions to your new plant.  Works for me!

  • Lovely photos happymarion it's lovely outside this morning there is some daffodils coming up in my garden and the primroses are on there way tooimage

    Thank you for your lovely photos and I hope 2013 is a good year for you and your garden.

    Hooray for evergreens in winter and trees with lovely bark like silver birch.

    85 in August, Verdun.  It is being so active that keeps me going!  Thank you for your kind appreciation!

    This silver birch has crocus and cowslips underneath it in Spring. Behind are some of my too big Christmas trees that have had their bottom branches removed. They were used in the house in the early 90s then planted out.

    A little touch of colour showing in the pansies on New Year's day. For some reason this tub is more advanced than the others.

  • Well that's very nice photos and it  is nice to get out and about with out getting wet.The weather is sunny today and I might just escape outside to tidy up.Been for a walk at wrington,the weir was in full flood and the fields very sodden but I did spot a green woodpecker in the bush by the weir.image
