Thank you Maureen, If its the dark pink one its called Kick Off lol if it s the other lighter pink one, I will find out next time I go to the nursery as it did nt have a lable on.

Very doubtful....sorry.

These are not hardy in certain parts of the country..so it will depend on where you live and was it protected?

Which variety are you talking about first of all? some you can cut down every spring to keep them with their juvenile leaves.........others grow enormous very very quickly.

Dont feed ours, only tea (cold) in summer months, keeps them healthy and a little peat ?or ericaceous compost dug around the roots every now and again....

As Drc says use it on the garden only.

The flowers are very flat compared to the cardoon on the right of the screen.The grey sepals? are like mother of pearl. They make ideal dried flowers as they do not lose their seeds or their colour.

Thank you Michaella. The berries nearest the ground are first to go because the blackbirds jump up and take them off. I think this is cotoneaster dammerii. It is growing in a stone"pot" which has access to the earth under it to allow the roots to go down as far as they can and not need to rely on me to water them.

Thanks all, was beginning to think we had lost them all, so rather pleased when these turned up........water butt should be full again, had a fair amount of rain this evening.

I am hoping, the tree cones up very early when grown normally, obviously not when it is restricted, still never say never......

Ah Ha! Yes, I'm sure it does. wonderful view in any weather.

Linda,you sound full of the joys of spring isn't it just wonderful?

Well that will get it going........!!!

Hey Sanbaz, glad you like it,only hope your air doesn't turn as blue as mine did lol, it is a bit fiddly to do! I also bought the Spanish Arch metal art,and have painted that too-do you think I need to get a life??? Am going to put a mirror at the back of it, and if all works ok, will post results incase anyone else should feel inspired by my arty madness hee hee hee :o) )

Very smart. :-)

This is absolutely beautiful, love the blue colour!

Hi Scotsgran, welcome to GOY, this is a lovely picture.

Mushybanna:

Interesting Palmate!

That's the way to do it...keep everyone thinking. LOL!!! : > )

Please to meet you both, welcome to GOY! Hope to seeing your garden pictures soon!

The darker stripes on this make me think it might be "Pickwick", but am no crocus expert (or any expert, for that matter).

Yw :o)

I love the squirrel really crocus bulbs a small price to pay to have him scamper around :o)

There is that danger I must admit lol! :o))

I was advised to use it when planting all of my shrubs and perennials. It helps your plants to grow new roots to establish themselves. It is very slow release so it is almost impossible to burn anything and it does not give an instant boost and encourage new top growth which could be vulnerable. I am thinking most of the shrubs and HPs are planted in the dormant season when you would not want top growth, rather you are trying to establish a root system to give the plant a good foundation. On the other hand quick fixes are necessary for annuals to make sure you get maximum benefit from a single season plant. That is when things like phostrogen come in to their own.

Guest, there are perennial hybrids of nemesia, but their frost tolerance is strictly limited. Try searching the plant on the web to see which climate zones it's recommended for. If your climate fits, prune off all the dead stems, right down to the ground, and give a light application of fish emulsion and seaweed extract. You might want to wait until your average frost date to do that, though. I get the impression that the UK had exceptionally heavy frosts last winter, so even though it's supposed to be hardy in your neighborhood, it may still be kaput (that's a gardening term.) : D

Good luck!

Milky:

That's funny! An amazing photo!

Hi Mavisc52, Yes, Wallington Hall is a great place to visit but as the weather was so good, we did not see inside the house this time. The gardens were magnificent though.
