If you're looking down on us now Eddy ...Yeahhhh I'll plant things Green side up..

Happy Days.X

 

Are they forget me nots?

Armandii was so kind, we only ever spoke on here but I do think of him and his lovely garden and cats. I especially loved his pond and all the wildlife it attracted.

 

Some photos from the only area of my garden not currently being battered by wind!

 

Posting a photo of a spring flower bed in the front garden that our courier thought was lovely. She even asked if she could take a photo!

 

Your courier had very good taste @Brenda.

 

Thank you @Plantminded. Just wish the pink alpine phlox had flowered at the same time as the bed is rather blue and purple at the moment

 

Is that Lithodora you have @Brenda? It’s a real stand out blue. Mine is continually buzzing with bees!

 

Yes Lithodora but not sure which one. My sister’s one is a much paler blue

 

It looks like mine @Brenda, which is L. Heavenly Blue (Lithodora has other names but I prefer the old one!)

 

Some pics of my garden taken yesterday when the wind stopped for a brief spell!

Tradescantia andersoniana 'Sweet Kate'... looking forward to its spectacular blue flowers!

The West border

Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum Lanarth' (with self-seeded forget-me-nots in foreground)

Wisteria sinensis planted 25 years ago.

Deutzia gracilis 'Nikko' in full bloom. A very prostrate form; most flowers were frost-burnt last year, but not so this season!

 

Yes you are right @Plantminded. I remember now as I had a penstemon of the same colour

 

I’d like to see those spectacular blue flowers too please @Papi Jo!

 

They're just budding, be patient!

 

I brought these small Narcissi indoors from the wind and put them in an old bucket to hide the pot. They're a bit scruffy but they brighten up the kitchen ...
