A few bit and pieces. The 1st photo is of some of my Trillium Grandiflorums. Possibly my most favourite plant in my garden. They flower for ages and are the most brilliant white. Hope you like my clump of Primroses. It's about 3ft by 4ft and flowering away despite the clump desperately needing split up. There must be well over 200 plants in the clump....1 of the many jobs I don't get round to doing! The bed of Primulas could also do with splitting

My Camellia is looking great this year, full of buds, shame the rain and occasional hail keep damaging the blooms!

Rhubarb is doing well

Osmanthus

These bowls should be looking really good by Open Day

Erysimum Chelsea Jacket

Our viburnums are now over 10ft tall and this is one of them

These will be wafting pollen all over the place in a week or two's time

The pink tree peony is just showing a bit of colour

A lot of plants in this bed died this winter but the replacements are doing well. Some of the perennials should be popping up towards the back

Pulmonaria are still going strong and have been in flower since January

Katsura has lost its bright colour and is starting to turn green

Trying to flower

Epimedium

For those of you that remember the photos, this is the laurel that was cut hard back last year. There were no leaves on it and you could see right through.

In the undergrowth

You either love 'em or hate 'em!

Nigella beginning to look very fluffy.

Wow. Love your garden, superb example of what you can do in small space. I'm a bit jealous [emoji15]

In the front garden, Forsythia...

....and Berberis Darwinii!

The plum tree in the back garden is revving up, too!

Thoroughly enjoyed watching your garden unfurl and develop throughout the past year or two; loved, even more, to see how it has overwintered and is now springing back into life!
Said it before and it is still relevant: INSPIRATIONAL

Thanks M!

Toning it down a bit this year, literally couldn't move due to all the plants! However, the place was jam packed with bees and butterflies, so will be keeping those plants...

Only one pink one last year with the rest red. Can they infect each other?

You shouldn't have treated them so well ... then maybe they wouldn't have grown

Pittosporum Silver something. I originally bought it for the foliage and forgot it would actually have flowers at some point!
