April 2017 sunny day in spring

All looking good GG. Doesn't the spring sunshine gladden your heart?

Thanks Waddy , have to agree "spring sunshine gladden your heart" I think it was a too bright for the camera on some of the shots lol but I aint moaning ....

Got three buttons on one of my Sarracena, which have been outside since March. Had to replace my pink Bleeding Heart earlier, the replacement is not showing yet. Nice to see your Daffs, mine are all finished, but the Tulips are blooming.

Thanks Siris

Great to know your Sarracena are going to flower ..

My bleeding heart thinking about I have had for over 15 years may be longer ... I have a white variety that struggles but is hanging on , I do have some white daffs in the front but with this warmth past couple of days wont last long.
Cammasia have all put on new growth so be interesting to see how they get on as its a first with me growing them from "Avon bulbs" which were huge so should flower this year worth paying the xtra for decent bulbs.

Having a great day out there myself today GG. Still windy, but a lot warmer than yesterday. Been planting hardy veg out etc. Cracking! :))

Fab.photos .... love that Heucherella !

My favourite was the Erithroniums. the delphiniums look nice and healthy -another job lining up for you!

Thanks Karen , yes lets hope it last more than two days lol bumble bees and butterfly's have been out in force, rescued a bumble bee and gave it some sugar water then placed it on the frame of the greenhouse 10 minutes later it took off a bit wobbly...

Hi Terra , its a good strong variety.

Stera , yes the Erithroniums, which have only been in two years but I had placed bulbs in all the borders and its the bottom hand left of the garden they prefer, at least I have found out as I would like to plant other varieties. Delphiniums I have got to give them another go, failed miserably in the past, I have gone for some tried and trusted varieties from a reputable nursery.

Fabulous pictures GG,everything is coming on a treat,especially love the Erythronium.

Thank You Loli , you must give them a go ...

Great plants Gg and those Delphiniums look very healthy plants I think they are one of my favourites when the slugs don`t get at them.

Thanks Stroller,

Delphiniums, cant wait for them to flower .... failed miserably in the past but I know what they like now so gave it another try .. Also bought two good books which have come in handy, and I have the slug pub at the ready.

Gg

Have you tried the dwarf delphiniums? Tempted to have a go at those, but not if slugs love them...

Delphinium Mighty Atom is dwarf (which I have) well 4 to 5 feet so dont sound dwarf to me , I will put up pictures later in the year.

sorry slug caviar!!! so looks like a NO !

Oh well, it was a nice idea while it lasted!
