The Crab apple tree is flowering together with the Viburnum and Exochorda in the background.

The newly purchased fern gets new fronds. @Plantminded would you take the quite healthy looking green old grow off? This is the Copper Shield fern.

The Deutzia is developing flower heads.

My tree fern gets another new leave. It's one of OH's purchases, and I adopted it now.

The newly purchased Betula multi-stem tree opens now its leaves. I water it twice a week to the stem into the root ball.

I think I'd leave them @simone_in_wiltshire as the old growth still looks fresh and provides a good contrast . Nice new tree fern!

On a dreary day, this Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Yellow/Orange cheered me ...

Your daffodils are wonderful @redstar. I don't think I've ever seen so many in a private garden.

I've posted these before but they just get prettier - they start off nearly white and get pinker. Tulip "Finola".

And now another one of my "Pink Tulip" collection is up, this one is called "Miss Elegance".

At the back of our garden is our wild fairyland - in the distance, just visible. It's about 90ft x 50ft and, at the moment, is full of Cowslips and Primroses that have escaped from the flower beds and have spread all over the garden in the last 40-50 years.

More front garden.

I keep telling myself that I have to get a new camera as this one has been having problems with its focus for years.
