What's looking good APRIL 2024

I couldn't see an update to the sunrise/sunset thread, but I just managed to catch the sunset last night after a really lovely , proper spring day here yesterday.

 

Aquilegias and Euphorbias look quite good in the rain today. Everything else looks bleak!

Narcissus triandrus 'Thalia'

The first glimmer of colour on Scilla peruviana

Louisianan Iris still going strong and looking better now the Acer's in leaf.

Violets are becoming a good, long flowering ground cover

Double early tulips warm up for the Iris

Zantedeschia does well here whether in the ground or the ponds

Lavander stoechas...a bit early?

Acers are just starting, Acer p dissectum.

Butia cap and Chamaerops.

 

I have a young A. Orange Dream @strongylodon. My acers are all just starting to get some new growth showing, so it's nice to see some already looking good. They're a great addition to a garden

 

Nice weather here today and more signs of life coming back to the garden.

Happy gardening!

 

One of my all time favourite miniature hostas is well ahead of all the others. The lovely feather boa

Hi @strongylodon You seem to have quite an exotic garden! I also have a Fatsia japonica 'Spider’s Web' specimen, but it's in a (large) container (on wheels). It's mostly in the shade.
I hesitate to transplant it to the ground, as it seems to not like either the sun nor frosty spells of weather. What is the aspect of yours? Here's a pic taken last autumn.

 

Camellia China Clay today

 

Camellias coming to an end now.



Aeonium flowering.

 

You have some lovely Camellias Pete,
