What's Looking Good in April 2014

Wow, what a lovely show GA.
So glad those Vulcan came true to piccie colour,

Never grown Wallflowers before - my father would be chuffed with me as they were his favourite in the garden - always had great clumps of them - don't know why I have never had them before - you have converted me Jenny!

 

Orange dream acer just coming into leaf

 

Love this little plant. Tiarella 'Iron Butterfly'.

 

It get bleeding cold here in West Oxfordshire. We suffer some winter lows on a par with northern England and a lot of rain.

It's totally hardy and completely blasé about where you put it too! Only pain about it is that it is variegated. Oh.........the slugs love the flower buds too.

Fantastic!!
What's the secret?

 

Still have some primrose about, lots of yellow ones but here are some different colours.






Tulips are coming along nicely

 

Forgot its name


Dicentra


Irises


Peach blossom


Pear blossom


Bay flower

 

It's lovely Trunky? Is it in a shady part of your garden?

 

IWOOT

 

It is indeed Fern. They're quite happy in the shade, it's planted on the north side of a wooden panel fence, a couple of feet from the fence and sheltered by larger shrubs on either side.

It does just catch a bit of early morning sun, when it seems to positively light up: this photo was taken around 7am today, before the sun disappeared behind the fence.

 

Excellent! It would really suit the part of my garden I'm working on at the moment.

 

I have a North facing front garden that I could find a home for one of those in....

Me too! Two years I've been here and I still can't get shot of them!!!!
However, that Dicentra is lovely!
