Thank you SB...
The little primula is sadly nameless...I've searched but can't find the label...it's so attractive ,I agree.

Lovely plants I think its an evening Primrose.

very nice! thanks for the mini tour!

That is very interesting...from this blog I would say yourgarden is not ahead of mine at all. This is very unusual! Love your Geisha Girl. Now that IS ahead of mine..but not much.

I agree K...my garden seems slower this Spring...one of the reasons I haven't shown many photos up until now...
The Camellias are only just opening.

:) it will get going soon!

Lovely little walk round your garden Julia. I love the Iberis.
Does it flower very long ?
I am hoping to do a blog on our new garden soon.

Thank you Rose..
Iberia does have a good flowering time...slow to open up...
Really looking forward to seeing your garden..have you had to buy many plants?

Spring has arrived in your pretty garden......lovely pics!

Beautiful garden, lots of colour already and so tidy!

Thanks DD and HS.

Not too many Julia. I brought 104 pots with us, including as many roses as I could ! But now, looking at the borders , they still need more !
I have sent for quite a few new ones, mainly perennials.

It's almost as hard as moving the household items,I think....were you able to find that Penstemon (Huskers red)?

26 Mar, 2019

 

No, not yet Julia. I looked for it at the garden centres we have been to, so may have to look online.

26 Mar, 2019

 

Crocus are selling it,Rose.!

26 Mar, 2019

 

Just thought I would let you know Julia that I sent for the Penstemon Huskers Red plus we went to a garden centre on Saturday and bought an Iberis. I am hardening the penstemon off in the green house as there is a cold snap on its way.

Oh,well done Rose....hope you have every success with them both...
Colder weather next week.x

Garden looking very pretty ... Brunnera doing well !

2 Apr, 2019

 

Thanks TT...
The Brunnera are growing alongside the house exterior wall and difficult to photograph.

J : My Jack Frost is in a similar place, near a wall, and not easy to get a good camera angle !

2 Apr, 2019

 

Ha,that's exactly my problem TT....will probably have to take a photo from other side of the pool.

2 Apr, 2019

 

Let's hope the best angle isn't a photo from standing IN the pool !

2 Apr, 2019

 

Ha ha... I have considered it!! Just had stairrods,rain and hail...back to cold weather.

Aah!
