Pretty one Jane..

This is a beautiful flower, Kate! I like it very much! :)

Some years ago a friend gave me a couple of them but unfortunately they didn't return the following year. :(

They look very nice. I too like the pot.

Beautiful Camellia, Shirley!

My wife bought me a red one, many years ago, I don't remember its name exactly but it had 'King' as part of its name. Unfortunately it didn't last more than year or so. :(

This is a beautiful flower, Wylie! I'd love to grow it on the balcony! Did you buy the corms from the Pacific Bulb Company?

I also searched for it & it seems it can grow VERY HIGH so I hope you have enough room for it!

Lovely plant. Nice to see a C doing so well in a pot.

What are we looking at here, lindak? Young frogs???

For the first time ever I've used Google Search to look for your beautiful flowers, Lindak. Surprisingly it found it in a couple of seconds! After looking at various pictures I decided it was your bulb! I then opened a webpage that gives more explanation on the bulb. Here is the link:

Thanks! There’s another larger tree to the right. Trucks were parked below it, so I didn’t take any pics of it.

Yes, you’re correct. These plants are pretty tropical. 😀

Yes,it was a stroll with a few breaks to rest!

Thank you bothx

It’s a beauty. Sadly the rain has now taken its toll, but these are lovely and I’ll be planting them in the ground for next year.

Isn’t it? X

Well done, it all looks lovely.

Julia, this looks a lovely place for a stroll round, thanks for sharing it.

Love all the blossom this Spring.

Sue, I'm on 'catch-up' yet again and am very sad to hear you're having so much pain. Let's hope the stronger meds. will reduce it for you.

I love your Photinia's shape and may try to get the same effect, little by little though as I really have to slow down on the gardening, much to my regret!

This morning Michael cut the grass but that's tired him out as he's still got the cough and cold bug, silly so-and-so should have left it. I edged it with my long-handled edging shears and that's about it for me today. So frustrating to have to stop.

You take care and enjoy your garden, either out there or from the comfort of your sitting room!

Such an amazing colour.

I used to love the blogs and photos Lulu posted.

Lovely photo!

I think they would all have to survive as indoor houseplants in England!

That's a fabulous specimen!

That's true ... :o)

Yes, it's surprising how the weather changes so much in the different parts of our little island!

Thank you Rose.

Thanks Linda. I shall keep an eye out. I’m very handy with a soapy spray. :)

You have a fantastic collection Klahanie! I wouldn't like to say which is my favourite as I love them all!

Me neither! It's lovely.

I like the wall basket Karen.

They look good and I love the pot Julia.

Yours are much further on than mine Shirley. Must because I am on the east coast.

I love violas Shirley and they flower for so long.

Never seen anything like that before.

Lovely to see the apple blossom. We lost two of our trees to woolly aphids. Gerry tried his hardest to combat it, but in the end we had the trees dug out. We still have a small espalier but even that has the aphid.

Thanks Eileen...I wasn't sure how the matt black would look..
On the wooden bench a pidgeon has kindly relieved itself..must have been there a couple of days...I found wD 40 loosened it!!

Wow I don't know where to start..what a beautiful collection of shrubs Klahanie...your garden is very special. I have picked the Almond tree blossom as my favourite!

Ah,thank you both ..I'll keep an eye to see if any more appear.

Thanks Karen 🙂.

that looks very smart Julia. Need to give our garden chairs a good clean before too long. sadly the birds regularly perch on them and poop. supposedly lucky????

Wow and flowering, beautiful, I've always liked this plant too but never grown it :-)

Hi Heronbay, long time no see as they say.

Does it have black berries? thats unusual for a holly.

as you'd have to water a tub daily why not water it in the ground daily instead. Once established it will cope better in the ground. I have a holly in full sun and it is quite happy.

we've not had much rain of late which wont help.

Thank you both :-)

Shirley is correct but at this time of year it is most likely frost damage.
one of mine is showing this and it s 2 weeks since we had a sharp frost.

Yes I agree it's a good one :-)

Hi Shirley, yes I remember using the typewriter well and carbon copies and tippex for corrections haha, it's come a long way hasn't it, I left school in 1984.
I work for mental health trust now and have done children's services too.
We've got the grey weather at the moment and some rain but has been quite nice for a couple of weeks.

It’s a beauty.

Hello Kate, all ok with the Echocardiogram last week, so that's a positive! I actually feel pretty good but am learning to not overdo things ... difficult but I'm getting there ... :o)

The Acer in the border is 'Orange Dream' which has been in a pot for some years. It has been my turn to to be 'Carer' as Michael fell victim to the cough and cold that I had. It was bad enough for us to do Covid tests, both negative thank goodness.

Sue, I definitely have not had any PM's from you so I shall email you tomorrow. GoY still has problems across the site as it won't let me delete plants or photos from my Garden page.

Daylily, I think the sun has deserted the South coast , so grey down here. Btw, I was an NHS admin. worker back in the day, Path. Lab. and then Breast Screening in the days when we typed everything!

Hahaha!!
