Our daffodils are just fading.

Our cheerful Acer that goes red in the Spring before it turns green. 

The Wisteria has made a fantastic show this year .

We put in a white Wisteria last year, it's grown a bit but no flowers so far...yours looks really good Hostahousey! I keep looking at Wisterias in other people's gardens as they seem to vary quite a bit and it's a new "thing" for us. 

Yes Bru , I have 3 Wisterias two in the garden  ( Prolific and Caroline )which have done Ok . But one ( Blue Diamond I think ) in a large pot had it about 8 years and never flowered , this year 4 small blooms so hope it gets better next year .

For those who know Yorkshires East Coast well they’ll know Reighton(plant) Nursery, it’s huge & it has everything. During a visit 3yrs ago we looked in the ‘cheap as chips’ no label’ section & found this Rhodo(below)⤵️. It was 3x too big for it’s pot, it was rough looking & super pot bound. My research came up with-‘Georgian Snow Rose’ but I’m not convinced. Each year it has got better with more flower buds. This year they were the size of a conference pear. It is a wonder to behold. I have it in one of my acid beds with Magnolia, Azalia etc. best £15 I’ve ever spent. Rhodo’s of a similar size are priced £50+. Moral of the story-buy cheap & pamper greatly😊

Dammit, R2B --- you've never pampered ME   { and there ain't many cheaper }

but I have to admit yer buttercups DO look nice   

If I paid £15 to own you Muscles & you were pot bound & too big for your pot you my friend would get the same TLC👍🏻😘
