    Thanks Sis and Sam.

    The Helleboras needs cooler weather than what you have down there, Sis. It evens out as you have things that none of us can grow properly up here.

    A different sort of garden than you have, Sam, but it suits us and we enjoy it.

    Oooh signs of life, at last Kedi Gato. The Daffs are peaking through here, can't wait for spring, my favourite time of the year...

    I love the spring too, YDD, with colour bursting out all over the place. Here are a few bursting-with-white-coloured things :D

    Thanks Paladin.

    More Snowdrops. This is the group shown further up the page with the Lords and Ladies leaves but now blooming nicely.

    An old tree root, now covered with moss. It looks nice when flowers grow up in front of it, giving them a pretty background, very natural.

    Super to see your signs of spring KG. You must be at least three or four weeks ahead of us.

    Thanks, Dave, but other days I think we progress backwards!

    Our daffs have finally bloomed, but they get less every year, only about 5 blooms in this clump this year.

    Thanks woo and Kandy.

    I like ivy too and it does look nice on tree stumps, we have it on two now. But you have to keep it under control or it goes everywhere.

    Our crocus seem to get less every year, just like our daffs do. Perhaps the bulbs are worn out as they are quite old, but I would have thought that new ones had been produced. Daffs are one of my favourites too, Kandy.
