              Yippee, my absolute favourites. Pink cherry blossom :yahoo:
              This is what started my love of gardening. Still lots of buds to open, but super happy to see these looking gorgeous today!

                    Hi Snorky, No, I think it's flowering at the right time i.e: early Spring:dunno: Last year was a strange one as my C. Armandii flowered throughout the year into December without a break, but I think that is due to the effects of Climate Change which affected some of my other hardy perennials. It'll be interesting to see what happens this year.:coffee::snorky:

                      Yes, it seems to be a Spanish one.

                        Hi Shiney, yes, I would have thought it should be flowering now in early Spring. But, again, you're further South than me and so your micro climate is different to mine, but I would have thought your areas inclination to earlier, warmer weather than Cheshire would have encouraged flowering by now.:dunno::coffee::snorky:
