Thank you, Lindak! It's just a shame I can't enjoy them for several more weeks!The strong winds of late have spoilt the display rather this year. Lots of petals have been burnt from the strength of the wind. I really love the colour of this beautiful rose!

Glad you like it, Andy! πThis is another plant, like the Orchids, that gets little attention when it's not in flower!

Haha, definitely not that then! Yours is gorgeous, the same as the one I've seen in the village. I love those small single flowers, just beautiful..

Ange, considering the dull weather and the low temperatures I am very surprised it is in bloom in April.

Thanks both ... it was so beautiful that I just had to take a photo of it.

Thanks David, I can see it from the kitchen window so it almost makes washing the dishes a pleasure!

Looks handy Shirley.
Ooh Ange, bending is not good. In fact it takes my breath away so now I use a kneeling pad β¦ still hard work though!

I have better luck with the pale varieties than the deep coloured ones. 'Guernsey Cream' is a pretty. She's out early for you, Shirley.

I like all of these. They are all gorgeous colours. I have ditched most of mine this year as they were in tubs and I'm trying to limit the number to water, but I have taken cuttings to make up for it.

I could do with one of these. I can hardly straighten up today after bending to cut off hellebore flowers yesterday!

Lots of lovely flowers for a small rose, Balcony.

This Gladiolus has the same flower open for several days.

The flowers are open for only 1 day, but I have so many plants that do this, it is not a problem for me. They are also open all day, something not all flowers do (especially Moraea). There are, however, a lot of buds, so it should flower over a long period of time.

Wow, beautiful

That is a real show Shirley ...

I have one, but not as tall as yours but is great for planting plus the advantage of having a seat too.

They should grow very well, as long as bugs donβt attack them.

Balcony,
Your orchid looks great!

Thanks David. Yes, could be, plus all that warm Spring rain?

It's certainly an unusual plant, Wylie! I like the flowers. too! Do they remain open for long? Does it flower over a long period of time?
On blog - Neomarica northiana
Very nice, Day lilies, Wylie! The Gladiolus carneus is a beautiful flower!

Thanks Kate. Yes, I think they were 7 for Β£10 so quite a bargain too π.

Lovely little tree, Sheila! Perhaps it due to the - nearly - frost free winter?

A great combination, Andy! Hope they do well for you. All three are houseplants here in the UK!

It's a lovey Clematis, Shirley!
On photo - Clematis - variety unknown.
Glad you both like it! π Up until this year this was always the first rose to flower as it usually flowers in April, but not this year! Before the first flowers opened I'd already seen a climber across the road from us with an open flower or two! Would you believe it - in the first week of April!!! A week later I saw another yellow climber in a different place that had lots of flowers open!!!
To think as a teenager at home my greatest ambition was to get a rose to flower in the first week of JUNE! I always wanted to get a flower open before the RHS Chelsea Show came to an end but now you'd need to put the plants in a fridge & turn the temp way down to STOP them from flowering in May, let alone April!!! π€£

Kate, I planted this back in 2011 ... it blooms regularly each year.
On photo - Clematis 'Guernsey Cream'
Thanks, Janey & Wildrose! π
I looked up 'Banksia rose' Janey & it would be difficult to find any two yellow roses so different!
According to the RHS webpage it has double flowers on thornless stems - well mine has single flowers, (that look a bit like fried or poached eggs), & it has millions of tiny, very sharp thorns!!!

Thanks a lot, Kate! π I believe you identified it for me a couple of years ago but as I didn't write it down I forgot it's name! If I remember rightly you pointed me to an article in GW at the time.

Thanks Kate, yes I did get lucky β¦ exactly what I wanted π.
