what's looking good in april 2012

Nice to have something to show off despite the pants bank holiday weather.
Sutherlandia frutescens.............


I had to bring it in earlier as the heavy rain snapped one of the branches.

 

I popped into the garden today with my camera, as it didn't rain for the first time in days! So here are a few pics of mine. Fingers crossed i have actually attached them.

 

I've a few more..

 

Simbad, is that Marsh Marigold a weed or a perennial, i seem to have loads of it in my garden and every time i turn around it reappears?

 

Lovely photos you lot mines a bit bleak but i did find a flower on my victoria plum tree

And a clematis

 

Thanks Armandii. As far as i can tell it is the marsh marigold, i'll have another look tomorrow and maybe take a photograph to clarify.

 

Hi simbad,just a query about spirea bridal wreath,while ive been out n about ive seen simiar white shrubs growing wild,ive not looked at them up close but do you know if its the the same or are there many shrubs flowering white this time of yr..stupid question i know but i was thinking of getting one that i could use as a part hedge at the bottom of garden,i love the white its stunning

 

This grows in the margins of my pond Pixie,likes a damp spot, love it, it does seed a bit but not as much as I'd like , I have a white form too
Yes as ARMANDII says yours could be celandine, I have that growing in my little wood and it seeds everywhere

 

Just trying to think what else is flowering white at the moment joolz, got a bit of a mental block , could very well be this spirea it is a very common shrub, it would make a very nice informal hedge , just trim it to shape after flowering, I love the arching stems and it does grow very quickly.

 

thanks simbad,il have to invest in a spirea darrans reckons it might be black hawthorn that i keep seeing but i cant find decent google pics as a shrub to agree with him,il grab a branch of one tomo x

 

Had a quick look about over the last couple of days inbetween the showers,
