What's Looking Good In February 2022

First Camellia out.

 

Super happy, know there aren't many but the crocuses have started to open and there are little leaves starting to appear on my twigs (flowering shrub collection) haha

 

You have blooms Andrea!!

I love the way the shadow of the crocus is mirrored on that leaf.

 

Thank you @Upsydaisy, yes I finally have blooms. I hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it but yes, it's lovely! Pleased my hyacinth looks like it's doing well too

 

You should have showed your artistic side and claimed you planned it that way.

Hyacinth is budding up beautifully too.

 

@Upsydaisy unfortunately I'm not that clever

 

Looks good @Andrea Youll well done.

 

Thank you @Logan. I'm chuffed to bits haha

 

Your welcome

 

I’ve always thought the delicate-looking early spring flowers are much tougher than they look … they’re out in all the harsh weather but it doesn’t affect them at all.

I went down the garden this morning to take some photos but was glad to come back into the house, unlike the flowers which would surely shrivel up in the warmth of my kitchen.

Snowdrops spreading nicely in many parts of the garden now ...



Eranthis in a pot, which I thought had died, so a nice surprise to find them ...



Wallflowers ...



I don't seem to have many crocuses this year ...



Hellebores ...











Nodding heads ...

 

Some nice colour there Michael.

 

Looking good @Michael Hewett

 

We have well-established bush Azalea starting to flower. When it stops snowing I will have to photograph it.

 

More blooms starting to show in the garden here and posted this video including a lot of them here.

Happy gardening!
