What's looking good APRIL 2024

Thanks.
Its a poor picture as I can never seem to get the light right in that corner, it faces north.

Tulips and euphorbia

The amelanchier has started growing cuppery leaves as well now.

More euphorbia

 

Iochroma's first blooms ...


Things looking fresh after rain ...

 

Narcissus "Thalia" glowing in the twilight yesterday ('scuse the plant supports showing - I'd like to say I put them in early but.....)

 

Its surprising how some flowers seem to glow during twilight.

 

Not worth photos really, but I'm happy to see a few of my drowned cyclamen coming back. Last year's newly planted hebe is looking very good, the Welsh poppies are budding, and best of all my blue woody salvia (I forget what breed, lol!) that I thought was a gonner, is showing tiny green sproutings!

Tulipa greigii ...



Name not known ...



Camelia ...



Fritillaria ...



Muscari ...



Myosotis ...

 

Hello @Michael Hewett, I wonder if your Narcissus is N. Poeticus, or Pheasant’s eye. They are highly scented so that could be a clue!

 

That name rings a bell, it's probably the right one. Thank you

 

Worth the wait! Rem’s something or other …just checked - REM’s Favourite

 

They’re beautiful, @Bluejayway. I shall put them on my wish list for next year. No new tulips this year, but the previously planted ones still give a reasonable show.
