    Thank you, woo, and I like you prefer the name the Tree of Love. It is strange as it is a much stronger colour this year, as are all the ones here ... the road going up into the mountains is lined with them both sides at one point. To the contrary, the pink almond trees were paler ..... :cnfs::scratch:

    These dinky Iris are incredible. I've tried to dig bulbs up in the past but I think they go down to hell (or is it Australia?) and I've never managed yet (same with the wild Orchids and Gladioli ... maybe there's a message here) ... perhaps I'll have another try .... :)

    Are those tulips? Open already? Mine are nowhere near that stage, and such gorgeous colours-really brighten the spirits.

    You're very clever in your choice then, I have at least two weeks before mine open I reckon.

    In the meantime, I have these which are looking particularly cheerful having a sunbathe, apologies for the top two being yet more daffodils-I do love them.

    Very colourful Kathy3.

    Plum blossoms woo ..

    Love your delicate Chinodoxas and Scillas, Claire

    Beautiful as always, Bob ... obviously it's never suffered with Clematis wilt. :hehe:

    It's always sunny in shineyland as you often say, shiney, so no wonder you have so much colour. Just love the ragged old rose-coloured Pansies ... they look like Victorian frocks. :)
