And i get paid to look after it, how lucky am I.

No ride on, just me and my power mower.

Thankyou it is a great suntrap here.

It is often said if your going to grow a camellia this is the one , it stands about 12 feet tall, never fails to produce an abundance of flowers.

Thankyou I should have taken the photo a few days earlier they just got caught by a frost.

Thankyou I think Spring is sitting on the door step waiting to come in.

They are indeed Rip Van Winkle, well spotted

I hope they are right, we had snow yesterday.

Thankyou Celandine, in one of the gardens I care for the first daffodils opend on christmas day.

It is very peaceful, and visited by a wide veriety of birdlife.

Yes it was like that all over. The ivy was the worst to clear it was so dense on the ground.

Hi Rolfkio and welcome to G.O.Y. I took the photo about a week ago, and yes we are in the UK in Dorset on the south coast.

Thanks for all your possitive comments. As for the tea, a very important ingedient in a gardeners day.

Thankyou, I am like a kid when it comes to rock pools. you never know what you might find.

Wow what a view.

Great picture

beautiful picture

It seems to be classified as both strictus and Zebrinus

Fortunately we don't have rabies in England but it's just a short hop across the channel where there is rabies, up to now our strict controls have kept it at bay.

Hi Lori it's a Dunnock.

He's mad enough without catnip

Hi Lori it is hardy to half hardy, established clump will tolerate tempratures down to -10 degrees c. Grow from seed or division in spring, Best to buy it in the green as it can take 3 or 4 years to bring to flower from seed. There are different verities but Dierama pulcherrimum is the tallest. Needs room for it to show it's self of best.

No it was in a shed that i was asked to demolish. now i just have to restore it .

A rare cloudless day.

Thankyou Lori
