        Just a few more from my garden to end the month.

        Grape hyacinths

        This cowslip seeded itself in my herbaceous border last year, so glad I left it there. :)

        The herbaceous border is bursting into life now.

          I knew about the smell, just not sure how bad it is!!!! Have several seedlings coming along if you want to try again.
          On the look for Sophora as we speak.

            Just a variety of S.officinalis so I see no reason why not.

                  Glorious piccies MW. I think you have crammed 14 piccies in 1 post. How can you get more than 5/6? Is it the size that you are reducing to?
                  Love all your camellias...

                    I use Photobucket Jenny and just click on the picture thingy then add in the direct link :)

                    Need to move a couple of the Camellias which are in an east facing position cos they're getting damaged. They're in tubs, so easily done.

                          Your garden seems a lot earlier than mine. Is it the amount of Sun that brings it on?

                            It has come on a lot over the past week or so with all the sun we've been having.
