Thank you Linda..

It's the same here Shirley, soil too hard and dry and the winds have done that.
I'm going to give mine a good water this weekend, if there's no rain. It'll not be lovely rainwater, we have hard water full of limescale, but at least the plants will get a drink!

Thanks Linda and Sheila, yes they really are. When it's finished flowering, I'll pop it into a larger pot.☺️

They are damp woodland plants so dry, sun does not suit them. That may be the problem for you.

Karen, this is fabulous and has gone on to my Favourites.

That's a great photo.

New to me, must look it up!

It's beautiful.

Rose, yours will be in flower pretty soon.

Thanks Karen, it's just a shame the foliage will look scruffy before long!

Last year we had 2 apples, and Niamh harvested them about a month too early! I hope she will be able to understand this year, that we need to wait. It’s hard for children. Iused to eat apples when they weren’t even fully grown, let alone ripe. And that was age about 12!

Thank you. X

Thank you x

Exactly Homebird! Me too. But then I can’t look at much without thinking of food ;) ( that’s just a joke, I’m really not that bad) :)

Thank you HB..it is now 15 years old ...started off very small.The candles are quite striking!

Lovely 🙂.

Thank you both...amazingly last summer I repotted it into a larger container..not the right time to do it .Seems very happy.

I was going to remove it but second thoughts I'm pleased I didn't...not only good ground cover but as you say HB a beautiful colour.

It is Homebird, and it's got another flowerbud coming too.

What a lovely colour Linda.

Isn’t it gorgeous.

That’s a bit different. I like it.

I’ve always loved this blue colour. That’s a nice clump.

This looks like a very interesting garden to visit, thank you for the tour Ff.

That looks so pretty.

The flowers look like Pomegranate seeds to me.

That’s a lovely display.

I think so too. My James Grieve blossom is a little later than yours Karen.

Oh wow….that is so beautiful Karen.

Thanks Sheila, I've been getting stuck in doing lots, hoping to get more done this weekend :-)

Tommymoo , I have (somewhere) a photo of you as a young lady with a loads of beautiful pink sakuras (?) grown by your parents.I found it amazing.

Thank you Linda and Julia for your lovely comments.
Deer likes to munch off the bottom and I just found out that squirrels love to eat the flowers but i agree that it is a lovely tree to have for early spring..

I have plenty of Japanese maples and like then in combination of local plants so no....not interested to create a Japanese garden.
Visiting Japan was always on my list Linda but unfortunately never got there.

Thank you Linda. I hope so too. The space is getting little bit shady now..... so we will see.

Those flowers look attractive and I do like their colour.
Never heard of this plant before.

WOW. I wish my would spread.

Pretty!

They have excelled again!

These, on the other hand, made me smile. :)

I’m afraid that would give children nightmares. Sorry!

I agree Linda. And even the Magnolias have not been ruined by frosts this year.

Thorneyside:

Hello, thank you very much for your comment :-)

Delonix:

Hi! Thanks very much for your comment.

All my orchids are indoors as it's not warm enough to keep them outside.

Yes, it has a wonderful scent :-)

Klahanie:

It's been a long time!

Thank you so much for your kind comment :-)

Saw your gorgeous ornamental plum tree on your website the other day. So envious!

Mine is too big to spray too, so will have to leave it as it is.

Mine is just starting to flower Shirley. Not as far on as yours.

Love the colours of this Acer Julia.

I loved all the gardens Feverfew and the sculpture trail but agree with you on the last one.

I just needed to confirm that it is a Malus...growing in a friend's garden.Many thanks.

Not sure that I like this one. Sculpture trail is held in grounds of a local school every year.
