I dont have much in flower at the moment but have a fair few bluebells.

And some tulips, they all started out like the broken slightly parrot type but over the years have all reverted to either red or yellow, just one now looking similar to the originals and its the first time in about 20 yrs, it strange how plants change.

 

@strongylodon You have some really lovely plants in your garden! Those Acers are beautiful! The other ones are as well!

@pete I see you have lots of Bluebells in your garden They are looking lovely, too!

I also have a couple of plants on the balcony as well! Their buds will open any day now!

@Balc, I also have some horrible dead and damaged plants too!!!!

 

Some colour from me

Some of the hundreds of daffodils I planted late last year

Tulip lady jane are multiplying even after me messing around in that border

Can't put bench at top of garden but looks welcoming at the side of the house with the pots.

Best I've ever seen my Amelanchier Lamarckii to think were we considering ripping it out last year as well , must of heard me so put on a show this year .

 

Clematis (don't know it's name)



Hellebore ...



Tulips ...

 

And some great colour it is. I love the bench amonst the pots ... very inviting.

 

I do like the bench there myself , I am thinking of putting up a pergola at the side of the house I want another wisteria , the only problem is they is a public footpath that gets quite a bit of traffic at the side of the house , the bench might do a disappearing act one day

 

Maybe something where the bench is with a climber or two from pots. It looks such a nice space.

 

My new Red Hibiscus rosa-sinensis ...


My old Peach Hibiscus rosa-sinensis ...


Bougainvilla with Oleander opening buds ...

 

Syringa microphylla flower spike, nicely scented small leaved lilac that does not sucker.

Apple blossom

Tulip "Queen of the Night"

Scilla lilo-hyacinthus


Aquilegia first one of the year.

Vestia foetida

Arum elongatum Unpleasant stinker from Russia, from near the Crimea. I like the colour though.

 

Shot from the street, love the Star Magnolias blooming on both the sides of the house. if you look carefully , can see the blue drifts of flowers on the front lawn closer to the house. The large clump shrubs right corner is the Rhodo circle, all budded up.
