What’s coming up, into bloom, not behaving, visiting, living in, passing through? Post a photo or two, and share your garden year with others ๐Ÿ˜

Hellebores, lovely bright crocus, and snowdrops.

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.

Apologies for not getting back to you HH. Couldn’t get a reply to load yesterday. Brue has it covered though๐Ÿ˜ You can take soft growth cuttings as well.

My amaryllis is doing great. Around 24 inches tall, two strong flower stems. One done, one in full glory. 

Hoping to get some seeds in later this afternoon….in between building a shower cubicle๐Ÿ˜ฏ

HH  try a top feed with ericacious granules. We don't have a very acid soil so a top up helps outside or in pots. Having said that we were at Stourhead this week and their Camellias had yellowing leaves. Maybe all the rain has leached out nutrients in the soil this year?

Look forward to seeing your Amaryllis TDA. I miss having a few around but I've gone over to keeping geraniums all year round in our conservatory and just don't have any space.

I sowed some Cosmos and Coleus seeds this week, OH is ahead of me with all his tomato seeds etc. 

Happy gardening everyone!๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿฅ•๐ŸŒป

SNOW ...!!!!  forecast for next week , just hope it doesn't affect the Wisteria buds which are just developing. Last year at this time a frost killed them all off.

Yes just when flowers and buds think it's safe to come out! wink

This is a nice early clematis which is out in our garden just now, hope it survives!

Purchased this plant ( at a reduced £1 section ) because I just liked the leaves. But it didn’t have a label, anyone know what it is ?
