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)

Bumpity bump for 2017 Grin

When I finally sit down I'm going to read through from the start.

Off the top of my head camellia, pansies, primula and tulips are flowering in my SE garden right now. Azalea and rhododendron have buds and should be out next month. I think one of my snapdragons may be about to flower!

ElleDubloo · 28/03/2017 21:30

My plum tree burst into bloom today. There are some new tiny blue flowers in the lawn (I scattered some wildflower seeds on the lawn last autumn so I think that's what's starting to come up.) Other things in flower are mainly bulbs - daffodils are dying off now but there are some others I can't name.

MrsBertBibby · 28/03/2017 21:44

Primroses going crazy. Forsythia blazing. Birginias all pink and a bit odd. And my brand new lithodora is, as advertised, showing its first glimpse of heavenly blue.

GingerKitCat · 28/03/2017 22:06

MrsBertBibby I've googled lithodora and it's beautiful!

AstrantiaMajor · 28/03/2017 22:25

The best thing in my garden at present is next door's pear tree. It is about 20 feet tall and full of white blossom.

My new Amelanchiers are just bursting into flower. They are so tall I keep going into the bedroom to get the best view of them

GingerKitCat · 28/03/2017 23:17

Sounds divine Astrantia Flowers

I've enjoyed seeing your new garden unfold Smile

bookbook · 28/03/2017 23:25

Up north here -
Daffodils, first tulips, lots of primroses, forsythia , flowering currant, kerria just starting , pulmonaria , anemone blanda
Chinodoxa are lovely this year - I bought a new pink giant which is stunning.
Erica carnea in full colour.
Hellebores still holding up well

ChishandFips33 · 29/03/2017 01:33

Daffs are out, some hyacinths, bluebells, tulips appearing, snowdrops, a solitary daisy appeared on my margaruite that I thought was a goner!, vinca minor and major, pansies, peony tree in full bud, red robins blazing with new leaves, hebes with the odd bit of colour starting, clematis growing back, honeysuckle starting to bud, some random plants I can't remember the name of planted under the tree for ground cover are in bloom, sedum doing well, peony bushes have reappeared which I'm amazed at as I transplanted then mid bloom and they're about 35 yrs old! ...and a bud has finally appeared on a camellia Smile

I love the magic of plants and seeing things reappear and bloom after a sad winter

shovetheholly · 29/03/2017 06:48

Hellebores, cowslips, scilla & chinodoxa, magnolia stellata and flowering quince (both just starting), viburnum burkwoodii, anemone nemorosa, pulmonaria.

AstrantiaMajor · 29/03/2017 08:21

I love to watch the Acers changing colour. Last week they were a lovely caramel/toffee colour. Now the greens and yellows are emerging.

I just popped on here to read what else everyone else has in flower and saw Lithodora -
I acquired some free plants ( they were on the officially nearly dead shelf :) ) a couple of years ago. Two are thriving now - a lovely deep pink erica carnea and what I think/thought was a Lithospermum - is that the same as Lithodora? It is just coming out now ( picture is of it)
I forgot my Pieris on my list , and though not technically in flower , I have Hebe Silver Dollar which has stunning pink new leaves now

BuzzKillington · 16/07/2017 08:06

Our plox are still going strong and the hydrangea bed is the best it's ever been, despite catching a late frost.

I'm cutting bunches of sweet peas for everyone and anyone to keep them going.

The fruit trees are now laden with fruit, even some new miniature ones which have tiny little apples.
