    I had a little amble into a part of the garden borders that can be hard to reach due to the close planting of the shrubs but knew I had some Hellebores down there that I planted back in the 80's...and they're still going!!

        Extra special when you find them hiding Armandii. They are gorgeous,

          Thanks, Jenny and Sheal. I look for them every year because when I planted them the garden was so different to what it is now, and they invoke memories, good and bad, of the years in the garden and the changes in it.:coffee:

            Finally figured out that we need to pollinate the flowers to get chillies!!! :ideaIPB: and voila! :hapydancsmil: 20140130_100205_resized.jpg

              Viburnum Bod. - only one flower on this - hoping for more - but I have it in a large pot so I might be restricting flowers ???

                          Have a wander around minki you may find something starting to burst through. I was so delighted to see the hint of colour appearing.
