            Our totally thornless, highly scented, rambling rose is opening two weeks early this year. It's 58 years old and we cut it back heavily last year.

              Quite proud of this first one, I grew this poppy from seed, and me and small seeds don't usually mix well. :yess:

              My Clematis Warsaw Nike is flowering well, even if the bottom half is looking a bit dry and crispy (sorted this problem out in another thread the other day :thumb:)

              And finally in my veg bed, I bought these crimson flowered broad bean seeds hoping they would look good, and they do. :dbgrtmb:

                Lovely iris Shiney, love the second one especially:-) and that rose 58 years old!!! and still lovely.
                Lovely piccies Jo, well done with the poppy, know what you mean about small seed very fiddly especially when they need pricking out:-)
