What's looking good in March 2017

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

 

Looks like Speedwell flowers rising out of a swathe of Creeping buttercups. The stalks look rather thick for speedwells though, but the flowers look like them.

Speedwells speces are incredibly hard to specifically identify. There are nearly 30 varities in the UK and most of 'em have blue and white petals.

 

They're Forget me nots

 

A couple of close ups taken a couple of days ago.

 

I love the colour of your Primula Luciusmaximus

 

Without seeing the foliage, it's hard to call. The flowers look so similar but you're right as they have 5 petals .

Must've come down with speedwelitis. Spent the last couple of weeks relentlessly hoeing it down/digging up in customers' gardens... and eveything looks like speedwell now

 

Thank you. The garden centre had lots of different colours, so I bought loads and planted up some pots with rainbow colours to add a splash of colour.

 

Fuchsia perscandens?

Touch wood, I appear to finally be free of the sodding things

So I got back from Sicily to find that my garden has finally woken up;

I love that Scilla, Longk. I'm gonna have to look for that for next year

Cotswold Garden Flowers is where I got mine.

 

I'm soooooo surprised he let that comment go unanswered
