What's Looking Good March 2025

Hope our garden will be alight with Spring delights when we get back to Wales in just a weeks time from our visit here in Perth, Australia at our daughters . Though she does have a lovely red rose in her garden along with Succulants, Fig tree and a beautiful Frangipan Tree. I’m enjoying everyone’s pictures on this thread !

 

Hope you got to visit Kings Park @Valleysgirl ! It's amazing

 

@longk I'm pretty sure it's Salvia leucocephla after visiting Robin's Salvia site, his description fits what I have to a T. Pleasantly surprised that site is still available.
I wouldn't consider trying it outside in Devon it wouldn't cope with the damp even if hardy.
My S curviflora is just beginning to stir in the garden.

 

Oh yes @CarolineL last Wednesday, its top of the list for us two. We go every year amazing views over Perth up there and not busy we love it ! Have tried loading some pics from my I-phone but it did not work, maybe because there were too many or the wi-fi at my daughters house. I'll give it another go later .

 

If you haven't been, there's a lovely reserve up at Mount Lesueur. We saw lots of wild orchid species there.

 

I love Wild Garlic. This is the fern from Tintern where Wild Garlic is growing like sand on a beach.



One of the Spring bulbs. The other ones are a bit late.



I wanted to do it last year but was forbidden to raise a spate with my just healed collarbone.

I bought both Astrantia plants in June 2020 after the first lockdown. As usual, I planted them too close and the white Astrantia on the right developed stronger and squeezed the red Astrantia, which now moved to the left in the picture.



The other colours of my Anemone purchase on Saturday for £10. I can't complain.



The wildflower raised beds are looking good. On the left side, I got some seeds from the farm shop in Cirencester with Clover and other plants. Let's see what comes out.



The Lilac tree is looking good.



The Viburnum CarlesII gets now flowers.



Neighbour's Cherry tree is in progress but will be in full bloom in April.

 

Pics of Kings Park Perth.

 

A few more

 

I have never planted any primroses … but at this time of year, it would be hard to object to them having found their way into my patch!

 

My pots of bulbs on the patio are starting to perform. This is Narcissus "Bridal Crown" catching the late afternoon sun. It is strongly scented and has multiple flowers on each stem.

 

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that his partner has committed to keeping it live. It was a lifes' work/passion and it would be a shame to see it go.

 

Euphorbia myrsinites, a trailing variety.

 

Phyllostachys, Cortaderia and Berberis combination.

 

Spring is sprung
