Blimey! I'm glad I'm in Scotland....we still have spring here!

Spring came and went rather rapidly here, Karen. My bluebells have finished! One of my tasks today is to dead-head them.

Everything is going over far too soon, I worry what will be left to see at the end of June?

Thank you Motinot...I have another one which will be similar - it has buds on, so it won't be long.
You are so right, Dd. Less than three weeks to go, but the flowers that are normally out may well have finished. Ah well, the public will just have to see something different, won't they!
I think my 'hot border' may be very early this year.

mine are only 6" tall and no where near forming buds. bonus of being oop north.

Thanks, Homebird. I have another one in flower, and several with buds, but I daren't plant them out yet, because it's been so windy here. I'll need to stake every one!
Sbg - try the hairdryer to hurry yours up! LOL.

Lovely one, had the same one, but froze 2 years ago, a lovely specimen. My dahlias are just peeking out.

Thank you.
Sorry about yours, Adoons. You can always buy more tubers in the autumn, though! :-)
