                  @CharlieBot Those forsythias and kerrias look great together either side of the arch. :dbgrtmb:

                  In the same photo, do my eyes deceive me, or is that a euonymus horse in front of the forsythia? :scratch:

                      Then there's Tulipa Tarda in a shallow planter with a Pieris.
                      The last two are Aubrietia grown from cheep seed from Wilkinsons.

                        Our plum tree has burst into flower and looks as good as ever.

                        And the Daffodil 'Obdam' looks lovely, even if it's not 'clear white' as described... More like cream with some yellow petals in the middle!
