Whats Looking Good April 2025

The weeping cherry with forget me not socks
In memory of @ Armandii

This narcissus is a variety called "Manly", it has a lovely fragrance.


Muscari "Manon".



Narcissus 'Tête Bouclé' and 'Bridal Crown".



This daffodil is called "Lucky Number". It really is lucky to still be around, because I planted these in a trough and the fox dug them out and scattered them just as they were about to flower.



These red tulips were supposed to be pink. I bought a collection of 4 different pink-themed tulips, I was NOT expecting pillar-box red.


These are much better!

 

@Jenny namaste what happened to Armandii?

 

Spring in Dordogne.

 

He became unwell and died. He was a very friendly and well-liked man, and was one of the staff members on here. He is greatly missed by those who remember him.

Exhochorda Serratifolia 'Snow White'

 

Fantastic photo of the bee and Cerinthe, @simone_in_wiltshire !

 

It was easy to take. It’s the Cerinthe that had self-seeded and I planted it into the raised bed. I was sitting in my new reading corner with my camera and didn’t have long to wait.

 

He died....

@Plantminded did your set of pink tulips come from Lidl? I also have a set, all in the same pot, with some very bright red ones in it!

 

Hello @CarolineL, I’m not sure that you meant me, the tulips in my last post are mainly orange and red . I think I ordered them from Sarah Raven. I also got some Darwin Hybrids from Peter Nyssen that include pink.
