        My Loropetalum has been lovely all winter in the greenhouse and was full of flowers a few weeks ago ...
        then I put it outside for the summer, and now lots of the leaves have fallen off, and there are no flowers on it any longer :frown:

          Hi @OwdPotter as @Plantminded mentioned, I’d posted some photos on my thread, could it be those you saw?

          What do I plant in this big gap

                    It’s also aquilegia season. I always love to see the variation in this plant - is there an aquilegia thread?

                      I like this time in May when everything starts to bulk up in readiness for flowering and buzzing!

                              @Punkdoc very envious with your Meconopsis. We have tried over the years to grow them but only ever had one flower and then nothing. We followed all the advice but no go. Beautiful plant with stunning blue petals.
