    This Thalictrum "Elin" has only burst through the soil in the last week. It will be 10ft high by the end of April

        Sorry that I haven't been around for awhile. I've just browsing though our GC members gardens and am so happy to see that they are all looking soooo colourful. :dbgrtmb::)

        A few photos from my ultra untidy garden. (I have to have twigs all over any bit of bare soil to try and stop the countless cats leaving little presents, the result is that it becomes difficult for me for work in the beds:wallbanging:)

            Hi HsuH ,

            Although we've had some little chats of our on it's nice to see you out in the open :)

            Your garden is absolutely stunning. You've achieved the Spring look perfectly ( even the twigs bond in ) :)

            Well done :)

                My old Birdbath is starting to get surrounded by shoots and by the start of Summer will be almost hidden by foliage and flowers.:hapfeet:

                  I bought this Erythronium Pagoda last month and I potted it up and put it in the Green House while I try to find a place to plant it......and it's rewarded me with a first flower:hapfeet::hapydancsmil::yes::snorky:[​IMG]

                    Lovely HELLEBORES! :love30:
                    Well, the UK season seems to be so much ahead of what I have here.
                    I'll never catch up, but let's hope... :snork:
                    Some giant crocuses: 'Flower Record' and 'Pickwick' mostly.

                                @strongylodon Ours took a while to get going but then shot away. It's about 12ft high, but it's only in bud at the moment
