Normal spring flowering crocus (C. thommasinianus for example) will also put up seed heads like that....mine seed everywhere to the point of becoming a weed !!!!

Ha ha,I know you were ,Cinders..love you too :o)

Marvellous Stevie. Many Goyers will envy you such a large garden, and natural water too !
I liked the use of pallets to make the bench.

He cut them with the mower ! :O
I would have been livid ... lol

"It's certainly different"

I think that's why I like it the most :o)

Thank you, yes I have quite a number of succulents. I'm pleased you like them too :o)

Clever duck, knew it was safe there.

Lovely blog, thank you.

Thank you Louisa. I find the bloom rather interesting.

These are gorgeous Katarina. I love the colour. How long they last before they drop down and will they re-bloom?

They are only few days old. They are probably 20 of them and very well behaved...keeping around mom and dad all the time.

They are sure worth to fuss about. Blooms are rewarding.

:-)

:-) good. They are beautiful but very tall so need to be staked.

I can see why you could not leave her behind she is beautiful. I cannot grow Hydrangeas. Yes, you are lucky.

Such a gorgeous walkway of flowers! :>)

I love this color!

Herbaceous Potentillas generally have strawberry like foliage, being usually 3 leaves in one. Geum foliage is either entire or somewhat pinnate. Geum flowers often have showier stamens in the flower.

Most evergreens should be transplanted between November and April. In Cork, you should have little problem planting any time in the dormant season. Up here in Meath, I would normally wait until April so that young growth is not damaged by late frosts which would set the plant back.

Just perfect Olive....I LOVE this area...:>)

Shirlwhirl:

Some areas of Central Coastal California Brugmansia - Angel's Trumpet trees can grow to more than 30 ft (10m) tall. Here's one here a couple of miles from where I live which is 25ft (7.6m) tall (it's the link below).

We have a much milder subtropical climate here in San Diego than in all of Greece. Our latitude is at about 32 degrees. Our temps in winter are much, much warmer than Greece. My coastal inland climate is very similar to Alexandria, Egypt; however, the winter heatwaves here can get warmer than there because of our very hot, dry Santa Ana Winds.

I love Salvias.....this one is lovely

It explains how to cope with honeysuckle problems on the link I have given. It does say destroy affected parts of the plant at the end of the season. It should say do not allow dead affected leaves to lie around as they will overwinter spores of the fungus and you will have it again the following year. It definitely does not mean chuck the plant away. A mulch on the soil after you get rid of affected leaves etc will help keep the spores from becoming active the following Spring. Good luck with it.

Ooohhh...Love the two shades of pink...

Pimms would be lovely - better maybe than sorbet, but you can't buy it here. :o(

Stunning flower K...:>)

Most unusual flower Karen....Lovely

I love this colour

So striking against the dark green foliage...lovely

This is so unusual Dd.....Love the edging on the flower...:>)

It looks like 'multiblue' Dd....very nice...:>)

Lovely

Fabulous Dd...:>)

Thanks Cinders, was slow to start last year, but making up for it now.....

Lovely, our Grace had to be removed she went down with something nasty, in a pot at the moment, which is a shame! I do like Ceanothus they make such pretty background plants....

Perfect planting Annella.....

I value these plants.....

What a beautiful picture.......love it.

Wow that is a beauty, and I agree a good price at that size!!

Very nice indeed Annella.......

phacelia looks lovely i want one. ;)

Love this one, ours has done so well this year......

Any time the tree is not in leaf. However, if necessary you can repot in Summer provided to make sure to keep it well watered and shade the plant for a few weeks. Root disturbance should be done with care, e.g. teasing some roots out of the rootball is probably sufficient.
If it is root bound, I would leave it until Spring when you can tease out the roots well to prepare them for their new home.

That is doing well...

A bit different from the usual....

Love this Heuchera, a good doer....

This is difficult with Sweet Rocket as it is a biennial. It is, however, very easy from seed and if allowed to seed around, you will soon have many plants to conjure with.

None of our red are out as yet, only the white ones....

Hopefully they will survive the storm they are beautiful, my new one (name and colour unknown) is still in bud :o)

Really lovely......
