Lovely little tulips jeninkent. I've planted a lot of the species ones again as I had them in a previous garden. Loooking forward to them coming through
Starting to look more like spring now Chris
Took some pix today after the rain finally went off. The raindrops always add a little something to a subject
on tulips
on emerging drumstick primulas
on hellebores
on euphorbias
and on freshly sprouting ligularias
they're on the crocus too - but don't show up so well....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Beautiful roses Pat - how do you manage to produce such lovely plants in such dry conditions? Are those just ordinary common daisies? They surely must be extra hardy to cope with the dry?The Spring garden here, mainly daffodils and hellebore and tiny pond in the front.
Thanks Beaus Mum, you almost expect to see a pixie sitting on one of the toadstools don't you. Most older Guernsey gardens have these locally made granite toadstools, the smaller one is a modern version, the larger could be 100 years plus old.
Hi GD and BM. The Daisy is Erigeron but can't remember the species - probably kawinskianus. It's drought and frost hardy - from Central and North America. I've had it so long that I can't remember the correct name, but it just keeps on keeping on. That garden bed has a soaker hose which I turn on most mornings and leave it to ooze all day then turn it off late in the day. It seems the best way to cope here.
GD I'm impressed with your lovely garden. The mushrooms etc are really effective in that setting.

Beautiful Fairy

A few photos from today.

Oh I love your spring garden Chris, exactly my cup of tea
fairy your pics are fantastic.
Pat your roses are so gorgeous and top marks for your hubby working so hard and making your irrigation dreams come true
Thanks BM. It's amazing how getting going on those jobs lifts my spirit, hence wandering around with the camera.
Love the other photos too Fairy and Chris.
Some of the autumn flowering bulbs are making an appearance.
