What's Looking Good in April 2014

Things are getting going!

The wall weed (I quite like it)...................


Anenome blanda...................


Snakeshead Frits are just getting going...................


Fritillaria uva-vulpis....................


Salvia discolor is loving being outdoors again at last......................


This wee Viola has self seeded itself around. Seems happy in a fair bit of shade too..............


Scilla siberica....................

 

Camellia Magnoliafloriae


and a large white one -name unknown, was here when we took over

Jenny

 

The colour just keeps on coming.
Pansy's, Wallflowers and Forget-me-nots.

 

More Fritillaries - F.persica.................


A better photo of F.uva-vulpis.................


And this unknown Frit has sprung up out of nowhere (it certainly wasn't there last year)..............


One of my spring favourites is Uvularia garndiflora.....................


Finally, Erythronium pagoda...................

 

I must work on having a spring garden, I have a few Daffs and some of the Snakeshead. I do have some self seeded Nigella about to come into flower, lovely big buds at the mo!

 

I am heavily reliant on bulbs for spring colour which is no bad thing as they are on the whole reliable.

 

What is this please? I like it too! I also like the Frits after seeing yours. Must get some for next spring especially F. persica. Love it!

 

I have two or three more species to come yet. Take care planting them out, especially the big ones like F.persica as they are prone to rot.

 

@Fern4 - sorry, I missed the question about the wall weed! I've no idea what it is, although I think that it begins with E.

 

No problem.....I thought maybe it was Aubretia. Does anyone else know what the pink flowering plant is in post #1 that longk calls "wall weed"?

 

Can we have this thread 'stickied' please?

 

Only the blues underway in my garden at the moment.

Clematis Macropetala 'Wesselton' just starting to open.

 

I do! It's Aubretia (which starts with an A, and that is like an E but different)!!

 

Thread needs merging with the other and stickying.


What's the pink one please? ^^^

 

A mixture of small flowered primulas, lovely


Cerinthe


Akebia just started flowering
