                              I'm pleased that the rockery is doing well, I had to strip it out completely last year to get rid of the grass. It's a pain working up there as it would be easy to slip and fall in the pool...again! I'm hoping all the plants I put in at the end of last year will completely cover it.

                              Our few dozen azaleas always do well, but I worry about the frost on any of the rhodo buds. But they're doing fine.

                              Particularly this giant tortoise shell one!

                              The snowdrops I transplanted from under an azalea in the front garden have done well.

                              I'm hoping to treat the patio with the "Wet and Forget" I bought recently when we have a few days of dry weather, at this rate I reckon about August.

                              This amaryllis we received as a Christmas gift amongst the "orchid dormitory" on a kitchen window sill has finally flowered before it hit the ceiling.

                              And these lilies on the landing of the stairs are doing well. No hang on...they're silk.
