WHAT’S LOOKING GOOD IN APRIL 2019..

The acer appears to be flowering, which is a new one on me

 

Hi @wiseowl , your top piccy isn't a bleeding heart ( sorry ) . It's a Dicentra Formosa. Same family as Dicentra Spectabilis ( Bleeding heart) but different flowers and leaves.

I think I remember you having problems with this one earlier on in the season ( different growth rate to a normal Bleeding heart ? ), now we know why....

Enjoy it Woo , they make nice climps and they're rarer than white Bleedimg hearts.

I'll take a pic of mine later on ( if I can get into the garden ) to show you the difference.

 

English Bluebells

 

No apology needed Woo. Perhaps you were sold the wrong plant. It happens

( I'm just surprised the mighty Verdun didn't pick up on it as I remember him saying it was a Bleedung heart )

 

Thalia daffodils very elegant and multi flower heads per stem. The picture with the pulmonaria has thalia daffs behind them as well. I probably prefer the white daffs over the yellow ones.

 

Thanks Perki...I had a feeling they were Thalia ,now definitely top of my 'wants' list.

 

Things are finally waking up here;
My baby Clivia miniata is in bloom for the first time..........

I think that I have to thank @Sheal for this one (if you can provide an id for it I would be grateful as I lost the label in the move)............

Well @Perki you sure know how to plant up pots. They are gorgeous.

In pic 5 are those pink and white striped tulips Peppermint Stick? I am planning to get those for next year.

 

Hi Bella thanks for your kind comments . The white tulips with the red / pink streak in them are called Marilyn
