A week in politics.

They say that a week in politics is a long time. For plants it can seem like an instant. Now this it's split open you can see the flowers about to burst out. By next week it should be different again.

Again, just days after being tightly wound this flower has now burst forth.

The white lilac has opened  up too.

Bells , spikes, spires; the range of flowers available is amazing and I love to pick things that will make me double take.

I always lose the tulips and think they are the most welcome sight after a long winter.They look great in rain or shine.

This blue Camassia was bought half price but has produced eye catching flowers so I've bought three more, this time in white.

I'm a big fan of white flowers, they glow in the dark like little spirits.

For a couple of quid I bought a pot of colour to stick in this bit of wood that I haven't got the muscle to torpedo.

This tree paeony flower had to open up for me to know what colour it was as the labels had blown out of the pots of various coloured plants. It's in the hot border so it not int he right place but I'm not going to be moving it - I'm jsut delighted it has flowered in it's first year. Thanks Mum for the plants.

 In the front garden is this lovely lime and lilac clematis. So much variety to be found.
