        Some Iris reticulata in the GH, that about all I've got this spring so far except for snowdrops.

          @Perki at least your have some colour mate :thumbsup:...out the 3 this one does it for me :love30:....such a rich colour and outstanding :)

          My camellia had a second flower come out but the snow tipped the edges of the flowers slightly brown and the flower heads ready to open...so it's a wait and see game again :scratch: :whistle:

            I just bought a mixed bag of bulbs so many nice Iris reticulata colours I couldn't make my mind up :).
            I noticed you had a flower on your camellia, they had one just like that in Lidl a week ago. I have a white camellia but no flowers open yet and not many buds either.

              @Perki when there's a few there it's hard to make your mind up, it's the same for me when i go to garden centres :whistle:

              Well that flower came out and two days after another one at the bottom...well you may have more buds come mate :fingers crossed: because it's to early for them to flower anyway, mine always flowers the end of April towards May...it's never done it this early :dunno:

                Just looked through last years pictures, mine was flowering this time last year along with many other plants. The cold weather really delayed everything.

                    Mine also usually start in early March but still no signs of opening any time soon :help: Not sure if it's the cold or because I moved positioning but they get partial shade and no morning sun

                      @Mark56 If your on about Camellia's...mine is positioned in the sun as both our gardens are sun traps and the camellia loves it and makes the buds even whiter before flowering...i've took some new pic's this morning from all angles and it's done well with how this weather as come at we:)
