      Lovely pictures again Armandii. I spotted one of Woo's relatives in the last one. :)

        And the flower buds on my Clianthus puniceus are coming along nicely...............

          I love this new cultivar. The sky blue flowers clash nicely with the burgundy stems - Polemonium "Heaven Scent".........................

                The strawberry leaf is a good clear picture Woo, it shows the detail very well. :dbgrtmb:

                        One "marker" for me that Spring has sprung is the bud burst of my Acer Brilliantissimum. Just seeing the buds open up says it all!!

                        One of my favourite herbaceous perennials is "Solomon's Seal" which never fails to surprise me as to how fast it will grow. I just love the "string of hanging pearls" that it produces. The only drawback of it in the early years was the appearance of Sawfly larva which can skeletonise a plant over night. Having said that I've not seen any for over a decade so "Solomon's Seal" is a welcome sight in the border.
