I live in Weston Super Mare and i was wondering if it is safe this year to plant busy lizzies again, i love them and up until three years ago when they all died off within a week due to a disease in busy lizzie plants i used to have lovely displays that lasted until late Autumn. Has anyone got any information about them as i can't get to know anything.
Sometimes it is the cheap and cheerful plants you are so happy, at least I am, in my large garden, to see again in the spring. They are a bit late this year, my bluebells but beginning now. You can see the first peeping behind these Anemone de Caen. Grape hyacinths are great for bulking up, like wise Euphoria robbiae which puts te zing into the pink of the heather and the flowering currant.
What gorgeous colour combinations Marion. Are they all carefully planned, or happy accidents ? I always look forward to your next instalment of photos - and those above shows exactly why
Half and half. chicky! Next year will be more planned as it is my Golden Jubilee year, starting in the spring with lots of golden daffodils. I gasp with delight when i find a serendipitycolour splash. There is a new one this year as the grape hyacinths have invaded a clump of yellow alyssum which is just about tp open its many buds while the grape hyacinths are at their zenith. Will probably get that picture at end of week.

..interesting path, it makes the garden look extraordinarily large, as if it goes on forever..
Hollie hock, like everyone else that path looks great. Isn't it great now that at last everything is starting to grow

..just testing this out, using Picasa web album.... instead of Photo bucket...
Brunnera macrophylla 'Jack Frost'...
..thank you, we're getting there...
yes this is a lovely plant isn't it..? although the usual Brunnera is just as nice too...
I think I prefer these to forget me nots which seed all over the place, lovely as they are though...
