    Wonderful pictures and so clear on here, can really see the lovely colours. I’m new here so going to see if I can post a photo of our Exochorda which is starting to open its flowers….

    seems not.

      My first camellia flower has opened, and I also have my first tulips this week. The tulip bulbs were a free handout at work after the landscapers refreshed all the planting, so have no idea what variety they are. I love their small size and delicate colouring.

          I was tempted by the Kojo last time I was in the garden centre. Think I will have to go and get it now.

            Morning all
            Thank you @Logan for pointing me to the introduction to look at how to post a photo.
            I had an infusion yesterday at the hospital, this morning I feel like I’ve done ten rounds with Mike Tyson.Aches and pains in joints and muscles are a well known side effect.Easy day ahead.

              So any plants much further ahead than here. Hyacinths are only just starting to push the flower spikes up. Some lovely pix on this thread, so I must bookmark it :smile:
              I do have some little species tulips [potted] which are starting to show nicely so I might have a go at doing a pic. I've only taken 2 pix this year so far.
              Native prims are aways good, and they flower on and off all year round here. The hellebores get a bit knackered with weather and slugs, but the dark ones are pretty resistant. The alpina Clem Constance isn't any earlier really, despite looking like it might - should have flowers in a week or so.

                That was easy enough. Pic from late Feb.
                I'll try some new ones later. That was a Phormium which suffered last winter but survived and started into growth again through the summmer.

                    I'm still waiting for colour to emerge in my garden but at the moment the Euphorbias are shouting out loud! I like the acid green flowers and the fact that slugs don't show any interest! Are there any other Euphorbia fans here? Two close ups taken this morning.

                      I've got Ascot Rainbow, Silver Swan (cutting only), and an unknown one, all flowering now ... and several succulent ones in my greenhouse.

                            Yours seem to survive in the ground. I keep mine in pots and put them in a perspex shelter for winter, because they always die off if I plant them in the ground.
                            The succulent ones live in a sheltered unheated greenhouse.
