My spring bulbs in the sun yesterday and the Magnolia from last week, still out but not quite so glamorous. I just wish I could share the fragrances as you walk by the door.

I often get mole damage in borders, Fairygirl, one of my main frustrations, but not often in the lawn and the topsoil is very thin. We are on limestone rock. We have hares not rabbits. That moley bit is often a bit boggy, must have a clay pocket there.

Beautiful flowers everyone, so many beautiful shades of colour. wish my garden was that colourful this time of year.
I get an overwhelming urge to peel eucalypts when they look like that, Pat.
Lovely spring show Hefty. You must be delighted with how it all looks.
Your magnolia's gorgeous DD. I've always wanted one but never quite got round to planting one in any garden I've had.
Moles BL
Hope you don't get too much damage in borders
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
What you have there Hollyhock is potential and I'm sure the bees will appreciate it

Just enough room for them to get in and do the damage then BL
