        Gosh- I can't believe how early all your flowering plants are!
        Amelanchier's a while away but has buds. Tulips are a while away yet too, apart from the botanical ones.
        There's a few Thalias putting in an appearance. The ones my sister gave me [June Allyson] are being enjoyed by the slugs before they even get a chance to start opening... :frown:
        No chance of the Tiarellas having buds yet. That's a lovely pic @pitter-patter :)

        The Euphorbia I have certainly has it's bracts on display though. I suppose I should take a pic, before I have to get ladders up around it to reach the gutter that was damaged when the ridge tile came off a while ago...

          @fairygirl Everything is about two weeks early here, compared to last year.
          I love having the Amelanchier in flower at Easter time. It happened last year as well, but Easter was later.

            Even mid April [your usual sort of timing] would be early here @pitter-patter .
            I always find it interesting to see the huge differences with locations and flowering times. :smile:

                  @ViewAhead The lamiums are in a sheltered spot and always seem to flower around this time of year.

                    I have the variegated type with yellow flowers. Usually May before it comes out. (Just checked and last yr the first flower was on 14/05.)

                        We have, literally, thousands of the Primula family growing wild throughout the garden - through lawns and flower beds :)

                        I suppose it's debatable whether these first two are close-ups but they are close-ups of group of them

                        P1590957.JPG

                        We have them in all colours with many different shades of white, yellow and red and colours inbetween
