    As yesterday was such a lovely day I thought I'd take a photo of the evening glow on the trees.

    Took this photo today. It's the first one in full bloom but the others are starting to show.

      Thanks :thumbsup:. We planted a few doubles last year and they came up blind but it looks as though more of them will flower this year.

      One of the Stars in my garden, at the moment, is a Shrub that's been in the garden for years and was one of my wife's favourites. It's not a blowsey, in your face, Shrub but when if it's on form it's a stunner. This year it, perhaps to the strange weather, it has outdone itself. Ladies and Gentlemen, and those that aren't, I give you:

            Oh no, don't squeeze it, it'll only make it burst.

              There's no hassle with a tassel if you squeeze it, Ziggy

                Hellebore 'Argutifolius' (corsican hellebore), great plant although very large, this must be 3-4ft across by nearly 3ft tall, more like a shrub.
