THE UNFURLING.......

Lovely set of pics, Dotty.
Do you know the names of the ferns ?
Not "Fern" Lol.

Lovely pics DD. and the Clematis is gorgeous.

TT unfortunately we have all the labels but not on the ferns lol as M & W would say I can play all the notes but not necessarily in the right order.......so sorry no.

Thanks Cinders, guess what it is not raining!!

wonderfull photos Dotty especially the ferns unfoulding, lots of colour already in your garden :o)))

lovely pics DD - I do like my ferns very much , nice Gunnera - not sure how hardy they are - any one know ? Anyway fleeced mine tonight in case :)) love the clematis and the daisies - have a fair few daisies like this - thought they'd add a touch of summer - what a joke! We are lucky to get hawthorn free from play area :))))) great blog DD :)))

Lovely set of photo;s Dd, do we get the same ones in a few weeks when they are all open? I love the Clematis, the white looks like the one thats in dads old garden....Very dull but no rain here either today!!
All change in the last few mins, its now chucking it down...

Lovely - your ferns are all around the same stage as mine which pleases me as we are so far apart.
Clematis looks great...I refuse to comment on the Wisteria - in fact I refuse to even look at the picture - I am so envious :))

Fantastic set of photos DD. I enjoyed looking at them very much. Are you another Goyer with a new camera, your close-ups are gorgeous. I have not mastered the art of getting a good closeup with an out of focus background yet! can you tell me what the name of the plant is in photo number 8 and the shrub/tree in no. 15 please.

Great blog Dd and beautiful photography...:>)

Lovely blog DD love that clematis and your ferns....

wow, fantastic :^))

Daylily, Stripes, and Motty many thanks....Poppy now I can tell you what no 15 is it's a Crinodendron hookerianum, as for the other one I will get back to you, I have a mental block with this plant, decided to label it when I find out what it is lol and no it is not a new camera, just a few lucky shots.....
Scottish it has been very cold here, even the hardy ferns have lost their fronds this time. As for the Wisteria it is 12 years old and only the 2nd time it has flowered!!
Lincs yes if you dont mind!! and I remember lol
Thanks Paul are you expecting a frost then? they are reasonably hardy when they are established....
San thanks, we open in a month so we need sun, sun, and more sun!!

I just love this blog..Like Poppylover i am so curious about plant no#8 Beautiful pictures.

Thanks DD, dont worry if you cant think of the name of No.8. It will give me an excuse to make a trip to see your garden on your open day!! - (Dont need many excuses anyway)

Got it, went back to some old pics......wait for it....Helichrysum Ruby Cluster.
Thanks Pimpernel, would love to see you Poppy, if you do come please bring some sunshine with you.

great pics Dd..soo many flowers on your crinodendron. :-)

Sandra I am going to put a pic on when I do the 2nd part of my blog, I have never seen so many in all the years we have grown it.
