Just some pics of various plants and flowers. Some have been really battered by the wind..things knocked over etc. Some wee delicate ones survive it all..I find that amazing!
Weeping Willow got blown right out of its pot..not sure I might have to put it back in the ground somewhere.

I hope I get some aquilegia's in that colour this year and your clematis is smashing, so many flowers and how lovely to see the roses, I have lots of buds so mine won`t be long, you have a lovely splash of blue Pixi, is it Lithodora, I've had to move my poor plant, I think the naughty dogs have been at it, poor thing was suffering so hopefully I have rescued it in time.
Pleased your tree didn`t get damaged, the wind has been terrible in some places, its a bit rough here today but not really too cold so gardening between showers....

Wind is the worst of all the weather conditions as far as I am concerned...I will always remember the night my drive gates were torn from the wall taking the brickwork with them...The fence followed later the same night, truely awful, I can never settle.

I'm sure the willow will be Ok Pixi

sorry about the weather Pixi :(( everything will come back through - some good news - at this point weekend looks calm, sunnier and not too bad for you

Everything took a battering here too Pixi. Like you say the little things remain untouched. I moved my willow week before last and had visions of finding it over the fence. Still in place - was really shocked it hadn't moved!
You clematis and rose are looking great! My aquilegia's are only just starting to show signs of buds - way behind yours.
All looking great in your garden otherwise :)

I hate the wind most of all,Pixi..glad you didn't get too much damage..pretty Aquilegias there..mine just starting too..your Ajuga is a lot further on than mine though..

Interesting. That clematis is lovely. I hope there won't be any more damaging winds.

Looks as if you are going to have a good show of roses, showing good buds already.
Apart from the little tree which I am sure you will nurture all looks to have survived intact.

If you dont Lincs I can give you some seeds off these ones :) Yes its Lithodora..been blooming for ages now and still going! :))))) I love the colour.
Jeeeez Pimp! That sounds awful! Reminds me of the time when I had a teeny wee shed..barely anyhting in it..Got up the next morning..no shed..bits and pieces of it all over the garden and some in next door's garden! Might put the Willow back in the ground again..sigh.
Yes Paul..they will all be ok eventually lol..no winds here today so far..actually sunny since 7am! :)))))
Thanks Angie :)))) Glad your Willow was ok :)
I had my Willow in the ground Clarice..moved it to the front, then back to the back again in pot..hmm..not sure where its going to setttle! :)
THanks Bloomer..yeah some things are coming along nicely..just never know with plants eh? THey have a mind of their own! ;)
THanks Mr Hywel...fingers crossed eh?
Yes Stroller..that rose..Love's knot has been the most fantastic one for blooms. I had jsut sprayed all roses with ROse clear the day before..prolly all washed off now with this rain! Grr! Oh well..onwards and upwards lol :)

still looks lovely though Pixi, the willow should be fine, i love that blue pansy and that cosmos coming out already :-)

16 May, 2012

 

THanks SL..I've decided to put the WIllow back almost where it was again lol..those pansies are meant to be scented by i smell nothing. THe cosmos was seeds taken from last year..planted loads on a pot..there are only four so far and small! last year they grew huge! Weird!

16 May, 2012

16 May, 2012
