          Winter Jasmine, that's only a tiny section of it, we have 2 . Not keen at all as I think it looks untidy...might be down to how we managed it though. :heehee:

          Enjoy the sun, it's come out here now too. :SUNsmile:

            Ah, thank you, I couldn't think of the name. I am sure I had one here twenty years ago, but it disappeared!!!

            Munch was waiting for me on her little green table, bless.

            I bet you are dancing for joy all over the place now. xx Have fun.

                        Alas not in my garden but this Chaenomoles has been flowering in a Sheffield garden for the last two weeks. Stops you in your tracks as you walk past.

                            Camellia 'Nuccios Pearl '. I had hoped the cold snap would delay it, but more recently it's been warm!
