Such a welcome wonderful blog

My garden is getting battered by wind today.

Your rhod is stunning BJS

I so enjoyed seeing your hellebores.

love the hellebores : )

those snowdrops are lovely but the hellebores are particularly nice ~ they are standing up so straight!! wish mine would!!

Lovely pictures, I liked Crocus Miss Vain and the snowdrops, but I am not suspicious that you sprinkled snowdrops before making them a group photo, as it is always raining there...:)

katarina we had blue sky and sunshine with temperatures of 19 degrees C here yesterday!!!

What a lovely pink rhododendron - I love a plant with a story - your Hellebores look very healthy - I don,t have any in my garden - but I plan to remedy this - Marigold

rhodo looks lovely Brian and so do all the flowers comming up, sucha welcome sight, iv a few things starting but not like this, lovely pics to :o))

Wow that rhodo is wonderful, can't believe its in a container. Your snowdrops are beautiful added bonus with the raindrops. Hellebores look lovely too, very healthy. All looking good.

I believe Sticki :), we had very nice weather today, too. It is just specific for photos of GoYers, that plants/flowers are always with waterdrops on them. It is not so here. Here water evaporates quicker.

Wow That Rhodo is one mass of flowers, excellent , and to have been in the same pot for 40 years it obviously suits it in there ... You have a lovely selection of flowers in bloom , it would be impossible to choose a favourite amongst them ........

Lovely BJS - all of them!

Well all I can say is you must have magic green fingers Brian cos when I put things in a pot they invariably keel over ( well most of the time).
To have something in a pot for that length of time is amazing but then so is the whole of your garden !
Fab. photo's.

Yes, I agree. Brian is Green Merlin.

Ps, quite fancy the frilly flouncy primula ! Hint ! ;0))

oh, sorry brian, i didnt notice you put the snowdrops in for me ~ they are really lovely. beauty in their purity.

Lovely spring colour you have there Bjs. I really like the colour of that corydalis. Smashing blog :)

Gorgeous cream hellebore Bjs...:>)

Hi Brian .... Some lovely flowers, there :o)

Thanks for all the comments
Amy not the same pot it started small about a 6in currently 18in +doubt if I can lift it to pot any larger.

Val you will need a alpine type house for Flounce lots of air it also looks larger than it is flowers are only about an inch diameter.

my father specialised in Rhodies he'd have loved that one Bjs, lovely crocus i do like the whites, so much colour you have it's really lovely :-)

They all look lovely, I`d find it hard to choose a favourite so added the lot...

How come your Helebores look so good when mine are really tatty looking.

Frank Carson used to say 'its the way you tell em'
May be you should 'tell em' to buck there ideas up.
Seriously a few in the garden that started flowering late last year took a bad knock in the cold spell they had a lot of soft growth, but did not show you thoes !

Have only had one Hellebore in my garden did'nt like it and pulled it up, seeing yours i might have to re-think because i think yours look lovely. Love the Primula Flounce

Love the frilly Primula, and what gorgeous Hellebores too: looking much better than mine!
