Garden Snap Shots!

I had a craze for Amaryllis TDA, the bulbs keep from year to year so you really get your money's worth! Hope you enjoy your gift. 🌸

I had a nice surprise in greenhouse today. I was checking on a few pots and had a look in the one that I planted the Starfish Iris bulb in (some of you might recall me mentioning it last March, it was a birthday present, photo on page 4) I have dug it up for a look three times through the year, with no signs of anything sprouting…..but today, yippee, a a sprut sticking out of compost🥳 I need to re Google now, to look up care.

Some of the Daffs are well on

The witch hazel is out in our garden. If only the sun would shine the perfume might come out. Here's a close up of "Jelena" a nice orangey red colour. 

Well, if you're stuck at home thinking of plants and gardens I found this nice Spring Tour of Abbotsbury sub Tropical gardens down near the Dorset coast. Put it on full screen for the best results, a pity it wasn't a sunny day as the coastal views towards Portland Bill etc would have been superb! 

Called at a local Garden Centre yesterday . I bought these two pots of perennial Chrysanthemums  from the clearance area, with the previous year price of £9.99 for 10p each. Never grown Chrysanthemum before but thought these to be worth a go. Don’t know what they may look like but had to be a bargain at 10p a pot. Any help on growing them appreciated

Good bargain hosta👍 I have some in that state that I put in pre Christmas and they did nothing. I would take some small scissors and cut back the dead/ dying growth, then keep them free from frost and put into a larger pot with some fresh compost to sort of feed them. Hopefully they should put plenty of nice new growth on, and flower well later in year. The mystery will be…..what colour😁 

Our garden is where we were when I started this thread last year, snowdrops and crocus, hellebores and things budding up. Always cheering to see things coming through again😁

Can they be Split

Yes they can Hostahousey. Hope they turn out well, brilliant price so nothing lost. 

We had a beautiful sunrise at the front of our home this morning and then a bit later I took a photo of St Ewe, our ever faithful but overgrown Camellia. It's been flowering since early January.

Brue

Again nice photo and in particular your beautiful Camellia. Ours is still in tight bud even though both are in tubs and in a sheltered area from wind and frost. Herefordshire is a relatively mild county but this year we do seem to be lagging a bit with various plants and flowers, strange as that might be, not having so far a hard winter.
