    A few bit and pieces. The 1st photo is of some of my Trillium Grandiflorums. Possibly my most favourite plant in my garden. They flower for ages and are the most brilliant white. Hope you like my clump of Primroses. It's about 3ft by 4ft and flowering away despite the clump desperately needing split up. There must be well over 200 plants in the clump....1 of the many jobs I don't get round to doing! The bed of Primulas could also do with splitting :whistle:

      My Camellia is looking great this year, full of buds, shame the rain and occasional hail keep damaging the blooms! 20160417_114148.jpg

            A lot of plants in this bed died this winter but the replacements are doing well. Some of the perennials should be popping up towards the back

            For those of you that remember the photos, this is the laurel that was cut hard back last year. There were no leaves on it and you could see right through.

                        Thoroughly enjoyed watching your garden unfurl and develop throughout the past year or two; loved, even more, to see how it has overwintered and is now springing back into life!
                        Said it before and it is still relevant: INSPIRATIONAL :thumbsup:

                          Thanks M!

                          Toning it down a bit this year, literally couldn't move due to all the plants! However, the place was jam packed with bees and butterflies, so will be keeping those plants...

                            Only one pink one last year with the rest red. Can they infect each other?

                                Pittosporum Silver something. I originally bought it for the foliage and forgot it would actually have flowers at some point!
