    Lots of lovely large clumps of snowdrops, Paladin, a beautiful sight. :gnthb:

    Can't see ours anymore as we had about 8 - 10 cm of snow again late yesterday and during the night. :(

    Nice to see all the colour showing there now.

    I have my first Freesia blooming under the Oleander. There is a clump coming up through the Scented Geraniums and the stems must be 60cm tall ...

    On the other hand, my five Cyclamen should have been blooming for months now but are barely doing anything, just this one ..

    0)Hello folks....I've just had a potter doing some tidying...it's never ending and I really don't like this time of the garden.
    Woo,the rose is all pruned and tied in ready for the expected mass of blooms. A nice warm bag of horse muck and straw kept her roots nice and cosy through the icy weather...so fingers crossed:)

    Lovely snowdrop clumps Pal. Did you plant them in the green or as bulbs?

    Brilliant colours and flowers, Sis and Strongy. Could do with something like that up here instead of all this white. We had a strong freeze during the night, temps went down to almost minus 8!!!

    Nice to see most of us are well on the way to Spring and some colour at last:thumb:

    Aaron,I planted the very first dozen or so in the green. I liberated them from some waste land about thirty years ago and every time I split a clump in flower I've spread them around the garden.

    :) That's a striking photo, strongy, lovely Easter colours.

    I just love it when the sun remembers where I am. Yesterday I got the shrubs cut back and today I weeded the sand garden, ate brunch on the patio and read in the 16c sunshine for a couple of hours and got a snap of my Pissardi Plum in bloom and the Osteos and Freesias in the rockery glowing in the sun.

    It certainly has strongy, and I think it's reaching a few of you guys there as well.

    Here's my first mini bouquet in the kitchen today ... and does it ever smell like heaven ...

    I can smell them from here Vicky. I only once tried to grow Freesias many years ago, before I became more interested in gardening. I grew them inside the house, but they got very leggy and weren't happy. I must have another go some time.
