    I will reserve comment until Monday depending on whether the snow comes or not. 16 degrees on Saturday to a possible 5 degrees on Monday. I hope not :rolleyes:

    Look what I bought the lucky Mrs BM for mothers day, just what she wanted I am sure :D

    Lucky Mrs BM as you say! Hope she shares your enthusiasm for this sort of thing...... is it a fatsia?

    Lovely photos as we've now come to expect, BM - particularly of your willing helper! :D

    Wonderful as usual, Babe. I love the colour of the Magnolia Susan. My Stu at the Garden Centre had one on Monday but I slapped my hand and refrained as I have nowhere to put it. :(

    Jelly must be hiding from all that sunshine you're having! [​IMG]

    Me , and I ate his bunch of friends too [​IMG]

    The fatsia is a variegated form which caught my eye whilst looking for a suitable mothers day present... And then I thought, hang on a minute... if I like it, she's bound to like it, what with my exquisit taste and all...I'll have that... :D

    lOVELY PICS.

    I haven't even had the wraps off my pheonix. and my peony trees are still under their blankets.

    But my CREAM (not yellow) Daffodils are threatening to open in a couple of days. They will look nice with the snowdrops that have just bloomed.

    I'd love to grow a banana plant but am worried about winter as I have nowhere to put it. Can you wrap it up to protect it?
