    In the garden

    This little gem caught my eye and it's an early surprise. It's a Japanese Anemone which is very early as they're supposed to flower later in the Summer. All my other Anemones are not even budding.:scratch::dunno::snork:

          There's actually two different Viburnums in these pics, Viburnum "Opolus" and growing through that is Viburnum "Tinus". I actually originally planted them side by side but the low, wide spreading "Opolus" surrounded and enveloped the "Tinus" so that now it appears that the "Tinus" is in the centre. The "Tinus" flowers before the "Opolus and then for a time both are flowering together.:hapydancsmil::coffee:

                Love the colours of the Lilac and yellow Rose together :wub2: You've given me inspiration for a new colour scheme.

                  Do like Marinja Merelworld not 1 I know. Good old Percy Wiseman, such a great Rhododendron, always puts on a great display and not nearly as fussy as some. I have a couple of Azaleas in flower atm, can't for the life of me remember their names as had them for many years. I'll maybe put up photos and someone just might know which varieties they are.

                            Glad you like it, Sheal. Bluebells are among the "not so easy" plants for me as they won't/don't grow where I plant them but I've got probably a dozen clumps of them in spots where I know I didn't plant them:wallbanging::heehee:

                                I've bought several hundred of them and planted them under my Acer Brilliantissimum without success:gaah: and yet Snowdrops love it there as do Hellebores and others:snork:.
