      Thanks, Sheal,

      It has only just started to get going in this last week since we had the warm days and the sunshine, although it's mainly sunshine now without the warmth. The areas of the garden that I haven't yet put the sprinkler on haven't done much at all. So I'll get the sprinkler out again - they've been promising rain for the last week but it keeps missing us.

              One of my bleeding heart is out now too, Red ... just waiting for the other two to come into flower.

              Your garden looks beautiful :)

              Well that's our first April done and dusted, it's been fun to discover what plants and flowers have been hiding in this garden:

              20130430_122515.jpg 20130430_122526.jpg 20130430_122537.jpg

              20130430_122653.jpg

              What is this please?

                DSC_0335.jpg

                Quite similar to "Pagoda", but if you look carefully it has less red in it..............
                DSC_0336.jpg

                ...............and the leaves are paler................

                Viola labradorica is a recent introduction to the garden.............
