      Sarcococca confusa (sweet box) 10 cuttings from @shiney's open day in 2011, they have been slow to establish in my soil and this is the first year they are really flowering well and filling the garden with scent:

        Lovely Hellebores @JWK

        I'm pleased the sarcococca are now doing well. As usual, ours are growing like mad so we're able to regularly pick them for vases.

        Our snowdrops are very slow this year and are only just about opening. They're also shorter than normal. :scratch:

            My snowdrops are barely pushing their noses above the soil yet I have seen banks of them in nearby locations - why could this be, does anyone know. We've had plenty of mild weather and plenty of rain....(I'm in Daventry, Northants).

                      I wish my Pansies had put on the display yours have Woo, I've been very disappointed with them this year. :doh:

                      I promised you a picture of the Choisya @silu. It's now all but three years since it was buried on it's side in snow behind the pole below, it's made a full recovery with some nurturing. :)

                      063.JPG

                      Choisya 'Sundance' now approximately 5ft in height.

                      Sambucus 'Black Lace' pruned back in late October and now showing signs of Spring.

                      Knautia 'Macedonica' seems to think it's summer. :) The bees love this plant!
