Budding Young Things !

these are amazing, love them and want some.

And what a sight they will be once the buds are all opened....lovely

yer know yer all make me sick with yer nice gardens...lol, an just in case x

Anyone can make a nice garden April, it's so easy ......... textures, shapes, nice plants ........ it doesn't take much to do it and there are so many words, pictures and ideas, that flood into your mind, from these pages that it's even easier :-)))))

thanks, although i did used to have one, well i thought so, my son not liking cottage styles didn't, he's scared of spiders! but i got a bit waylaid as it were and that combined with the ferrociousness (aaarrggg that was difficult to spellllll...) but so very beautiful, which was also home to loads an loads of tiny snails, that ended up taking my fence out, and two planters i'd made, that has left me with the mess that i have. however, theres still life out there, which i hope to soon rescue. :) yey

great pics..isnt it lovely to see everything in bud...

It just makes you so excited when you see all these things ready to burst open! Hope the rescue plans go well April!!

It really does Karen .... but then i'm excitable anyway when it comes to my garden !!!

We'd noticed!!! LOL What better way to get excited is there?

Eh hem...no comment! ;)

Everything waiting to burst into bloom ! There's so much to look forward to now.

Errrrm ...... i'm going to hide, Wagger and Karen ;-/

Lovely pictures I love looking at the newly forming buds almost as much as the flowers themselves!

Couldn't agree more :-)))

You are so far ahead of us Louise, I can't believe your alstroemeria is just about ready to bloom...enjoyed your pics very much:-)

Thanks Ba, yes, it's quite sheltered in the front garden and combined with being in a mild region i'm fortunate with quite a few plants.
I like to try to bend plant rules sometimes too ;-)

Beauiful, and totally captures the wonderful magic of fresh growth and Spring, Louise, your photographic skill leaves me in awe my friend :~))

Thanks Homebird and Flori :-)

How did I miss this? Great photos - I bet most of the buds are open now - how about a blog showing all the flowers as above? I'd like to see them...please!!

Most of them are now, you're right, i've posted individual photos of several of them ..... another blog will bore folks witless though :-/

No it wouldn't - your photos are so good! :-)))

I couldn't agree with Spritz more, Louise, your photos are an absolute joy to see, please, please add more..... :~))x

Can you see my head swelling from there ;-)

Tee hee hee, Louise, oh, is that what it was???? LOL! :~))x

;-)

Such an exciting time of the year, so much to look forward to, every day something new opening, lovely photos Louise.

Every one of these plants is flowering now :-)))

Great isn't it?
