Show Us Your Pictures 6

[AnneKipankitoo]

To continue into Spring 2022.

Unfortunately, I am not sure how many pictures I will be able to supply this year . Some builders are in building an extension for me .
I might have to live off all your lovely photos. Keep them coming!💐

@AnneKipankitoo
Thank you, AK. It's pretty neat to know my father planted these camellias and the magnolia many many years ago and they remind us of him every time they bloom. A garden is such a wonderful memory to leave behind for your loved ones to enjoy...like the movie "The Secret Garden" in a way. Dad died in his 90s and was still working in his garden the previous summer.🥲

Aw , that is so sweet @Sweetpea1532♥️

@AnneKipankitoo
Thank you again for this cheerful, positive thread. ❤

@MrsBertBibby
I think these might be hellebore. I saw them growing wild on a forest hike yesterday..not nearly as pretty, but reminded me of yours
@applecatchers36 ... thank you for sharing the crocus and hyacinths...they are so cheerful looking
@Swanhilde such a sweet patch of colour..I can see how it brings you cheer at this time of year.

@MrsHamlet...such vibrant colours...how are they doing today?
Thank you all for sharing....I know it's not always convenient to run out to snap photos in your garden...I've found myself running out in my dressing gown some mornings to get 'that perfect shot' ( Don't worry, my neighbours already think I'm a bit of a nut..nothing surprises them anymore.)

Ooh @Sweetpea1532!

No dressing gown wearing outside this morning...it's -6°C outside! Oh, poor flowers! It was 27° last Sunday...

Wow !

That's some dip in temperature Sweetpea

It's SNOWWING!!!!

@Sweetpea1532

It's SNOWWING!!!!

Oh! Where?

Hope all your mum's flowers survive the show Sweetpea 😬

It's been mild in South East UK today and managed to get into garden. Planted out my Dahlias for summer. Got some Lavender and White Pansy's at Aldi and planted them up in pots. Was so nice to get out in the garden again 😊

Very nice @applecatchers36.
That is some temperature variation your having @Sweetpea1532

A few happy pictures to share here from the NE of England. Lovely to see new buds and shoots after the awful weather and storms we've had. I love my Hellebores and the Pussy willow I've pictured was actually a sweet pea wigwam made from cut lengths of willow my parents garden a few years ago. It's now a huge tree.

Lovely pics!

Our camellia has finally started to flower but I forgot to get a pic. My gardening hopes were dashed by a raging headache landing me in bed, but I potted up some plugs I got from the GC on Friday : osteos, bacopa, bidens and calibrachoa, so not a total bust.

I'm sorry for the spelling mistake..should be snowing..not with 2 n's...I was just so shocked.

It's very very unusual for there to be snow at this time without freezing rain.

@applecatchers36
Thank you! I'm hoping they will be OK since there was no rain involved so the flowers aren't covered in ice..and the snow was the kind that doesn't stick....almost looked like fake film snow

@AnneKipankitoo yes it's a very big variation...we had to dig out the winter clothing again...DD couldn't find a warm coat so she wrapped herself up in a faux fur settee blanket to take her doggie out this morning

Oh!

@RainbowZebraWarrior
Your flowers are sure loving life right now.. the pussywillow story...that's amazing that they came back so heartily

@MrsBertBibby I'm sorry to hear you've a headache..no fun at all! But good that you got so much planted on Friday.

@applecatchers36 ...you've been busy too! Looking forward to your dahlias and pansies...

Ya'll deserve some nice weather after the winter you've had in the UK this year!

Nearly 20 years old and the best blossom ever this year!

Lovely @Swanhilde

That's beautiful @Swanhilde
My dicentra have decided it's time to stick their heads above the parapet now

Ooh, lots more advanced than mine! I am very fond of mine, it's "valentine" which is much more red than the classic, and I nabbed it in an impromptu GC visit just before lockdown (and spent the next few months kicking myself for not grabbing a bunch more plants!)

This was it last spring. It's just showing frilly purple leaf tips at ground level so far.

I have about 20 in different parts of the garden. Some are only just peeking but this one is going great guns.

My irises are coming out. I'd never seen one in real life until this year. I've already seen some bees using it so I'm pleased
