What's Looking Good April 2015

Thanks Jenny I was aiming for an all white garden in spring, which hasn't quite worked out this year but I'm happy regardless.

 

@Jenny namaste
Thank you. It has developed very quickly over the past few days with the warmth. Cauliflower cheese coming up I think.

 

@Trunky thanks for the nice comment. He's an alpaca and he was here when we moved in, he's called Geoff.
He didn't used to have defined legs so I did that last summer. He's due a haircut soon.

 

It'd be easier as my ass is rather busy talking ####

 

Got the day off today. It's such a beautiful sunny morning, I decided the housework could wait and took a wander round the garden just soaking up the sunshine, birdsong and all the lovely spring colour. Thought I'd share it with you.

 

Do you know the name of the white Tulips, they're stunning?

 

Those tulips are White Emperor @Anthony Rogers.

Glad you didn't ask me about the orange tulips with the black centres, as I've no idea what they are. They've been going for years now and I can't even remember planting them there.

Wonder if anyone else can identify them?

 

They look like the old variety "Apeldoorn", as they are a reddish orange with a black base.

 

Love the last one @wiseowl . What is its name please?
Jenny

 

Allium karataviense................


There are a lot of self seeders in the pot if you look.

The first plant of my 2015 seed growing project is in bloom - Salvia algeriensis (thanks to @PeterS for the seed)................

 

Well, spring is definitely arriving here...

A pretty way to cover a tree stump


One of the chokeberries (TY silver surfer for the id!) in full flower

Our sweet cherry (unknown variety, but crops early June) with its pom-poms of flowers

My tiny Opal plum whip does not want to be left out!

The sour cherry, planted really to be an ornamental first and foremost

The Kilmarnock with its latest set of blooms

Now where shall I sit with this cuppa?

Moss makes the garden super-soft for a roll!
