My garden is looking very green and vibrant today.

I can see:
Apple blossom
Camellia (although the flowers are starting to drop)
Forget me nots
Lungwort
Hellebores are hanging on
Euphorbia are doing their limey green thing and perking up one corner
Bluebells
Chaenomeles

What can you see? And what region are you in? (And I might nick your ideas Grin)

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 15/05/2015 14:44

mine's a baby garden, only done last year-so not yet as stuffed as I would like. Some of the original plants survived the digger- I'm waiting to find out which

alliums
valerian (I know it's a weed, but I love it- have had a game trying to grow it-think it only thrives where it's not wanted)
acqui aque acque columbines
Chilean potato vine
a beautiful laburnum my head is telling me to get rid of but my heart is telling me to keep
some lovely cream tulips, still hanging on
the first of my old lady roses- a charming peach (nicer than they sound), battling for ascendancy with the CPV
a little heuchera

SuburbanRhonda · 16/05/2015 18:51

This is flowering in my garden and I would love to know what it is - anyone know?

SirVixofVixHall · 16/05/2015 23:22

It looks like a type of acacia, but its hard to see the leaves, can you get a closer pic? I am curious as acacia normally would have flowered and gone by now.

BestIsWest · 16/05/2015 23:32

A few of these today. Meconopsis Cambrica. Alliums beginning to come out but apple blossom almost over here.

MyNameIsInigoMontoya · 16/05/2015 23:43

Lots of various tulips
Dark orange euphorbias (I never liked them that much and have been tempted to remove them, but they are actually looking rather nice this year so might be saved!)
Orange geum (which goes rather well next to the euphorbias)
Blue bell-type things (they are not proper bluebells I don't think though - never worked out exactly what they are yet!)
Lots of speedwell, including in various places it's not really meant to be...
Little bit of lilac, although we pruned them hard last year so not very much (the tree round the side of the house has lots though, but can't really see it)
Lots of pretty blossom trees belonging to various neighbours which overhang our garden - there's a dark purpley-pink one I particularly like
Purple bell-shaped clematis (not sure of exact variety) - our montanas are not out yet (too northern I guess?)
Nice pink azalea in a pot out front
Dicentra spectabilis (lovely!)
One aquilegia (Grin Muddha)
Lots of dandelions Blush

PigletJohn · 16/05/2015 23:50

Poppies

Alyssum

SuburbanRhonda · 17/05/2015 11:51

Is this any better, sirvix? The leaves are long and thin with a pointy end. They're bright green to begin with then go darker as they grow.

SirVixofVixHall · 18/05/2015 09:46

It does look like Mimosa, also known as the golden wattle. This used to be classed as an acacia, and I think may now not be but I need to check that. Does it smell gorgeous? There are various types that look similar in terms of flowers and some smell amazing and are also used by florists and some have no scent to speak of. Luck you! I have a different type of mimosa in my conservatory but it flowers in Feb/March.

PigletJohn · 18/05/2015 10:53

today the first rose has opened.

funnyperson · 18/05/2015 14:40

First rose here too!

SuburbanRhonda · 18/05/2015 16:07

Thank you, sirvix! I'm on my way back from work and will give it a sniff when I'm home. I have to say I haven't noticed a fragrance but you never know Smile
