Little Treasures

exquisite! i love those dark stamen in the pink Rhododendron, the close up of the crocus is stunning, a five petal snowdrop ~ amazing and those Hepaticas are very special

beautiful photos Brian

Thank you for sharing all your beauty Brian.

Love your Daphene Brenda Anderson and so pretty Hepaticas on my wish list.

How lovely - stunning pictures Bjs - I smelt the Daphne other day - they're heavenly! Hope all our bulbs come up or at leat half - most have been drowned or pulled up by animals of some sort - but to be honest I am really bad at bulb planting

Little treasures indeed Bjs, and I bet the beautiful flower of the Daphne smells wonderful.

But details of Crocus are most charming :))

Another pleasure to see your pictures Brian.
That Daphne is gorgeous. We can tell why you love your collection of Hepatica. Beautiful.
There was a picture posted earlier by Naoto of a lovely looking Hepatica. Did you see it?

lovely photos Brian, love the colbalt blue one especially :o)))

Brian they are such lovely little treasures.

I just love Daphnes and got close to one in a garden centre today to catch its beautiful scent.......I am not allowed any more because they always die here so I have to enjoy other peoples'!!!! It is a shame isn't it?!!!

Gorgeous Bjs....I have a few hepaticas but the new shoots are just emerging...I left them outside...oops, thats probably not a good idea....I love your collection...:>)

Its all been said there are not enough adjectives to match your treasures.

Beauties all of them. So nice to see them - brightens up the day. :O)

superb photos of fascinating plants.

I too love hepaticas bjs. really like the pink double.

The Daphne will have an amazing scent , ours died of old age last year it had been dug up and given to us by friends who left to start a new life in Australia 20 years ago , lovely bright photos Brian , your hepaticas are stunning !

A lovely set of pictures Brian Spring is on the way in Your garden, I have lots of new growth but very few flowers yet ;0)

Really exquisite flowers you have there Brian

Lovely photos...I bet the Daphne has a lovely scent!!!!

Brian, these really are treasures! That crocus is absolutely fantabulous! What a perfect colour it has. Hepaticas are really lovely. I had one in my old garden...hepatica nobilis...nobody told me they were 'tricky' and it grew very nicely in a raised bed. I've not tried any here yet, but if I see any at the local nursery I might be tempted!

Karen I don't know that the Hepaticas are difficult,providing they are not subject to hot summer sun,I do have a couple in the garden but rarely see decent flowers they are chewed by everything that moves.Hence the reason they are in pots.

Wildrose do you not have a shady spot to grow Daphne

Thanks Brian...hot summer sun? I wish! ;)

Great show Brian.Lovely Daphne.Is that Hepatica from Edrom's?

Exquisite photos, bjs. Love them all.
My Hepatica has been trampled by the dog and eaten by something but is hanging in there, just.
The minature daphne are a delight. As are the crocus.
I want an alpine house!

Fractual cat for me the only way, no longer want to crawl around the garden in winter.
