Whats Looking Good April 2025

Thank you @simone_in_wiltshire, that’s a nice size .

 

Maybe our Ruby Grapefruit will fruit this year ...

 

Yeah, looks good.

 

It has much better light and more sun since the Viburnum was removed.

 

I'm also curious to see how everything works out. I have now 4 trees in my tiny garden.
The Acer by the fence on the west side has doubled in size since I planted it in Autumn 2023 into the ground and should have made its final height with 1.5 meters. But I could imagine that it goes a bit higher being so happy.
Then the Lilac tree which smells like Lilac trees smell in Berlin, and the new Birch is the biggest risk. If last one doesn't work out, I get new branches for my borders :-)

 

Surprised to see that one of the Petunia Tidal Wave plants, planted last year and left in situ on the house wall, is already flowering!

 

Tulips in borders now starting to appear.

 

First blossom to open and Kerria …

 

Lamium galeobdolon


Cyclamen coum


Leucojum vernum


Arum creticum


Freesias


Neolitsea possibly daibuensis

 

I don’t have much colour in the garden at the moment, or much happening at all, but I do like this purple primula.

 

Some new flowers emerging with the good weather:
Buffalo currant

Pieris

White flowered Bergenia

White daffodils a bit later than the other types


Also posted a short video of a few of the new blooms here.

Happy gardening!

 

I'm quite pleased with these tulips. They don't really look as they did on the packet, but nice nonetheless.

 

Epimedium flowering for the second yr running (after taking 6 yrs to get going) and Dicentra in dappled sunlight.
