What lovely photos! i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif My Rosa banksiae is out. Not affected by the winter, thank goodness.  The Solanum crispum is starting to flower, too - I've had to prune out some dead wood, but it's fine on the whole.  Alliums are bursting open - much earlier than last year!  Cistus 'Silverpink' has had its first flowers, too.  Do you know this pretty thug? It's Centaurea hypoleuca 'John Coutts' and it spreads and spreads - it's definitely an invasive plant. I inherited it, and spend ages every year trying to keep it under control.   This one is much better behaved. It's Centaurea 'Amethyst in Snow'. |

Great pictures Geranium. I especially like the last one.  What soil/aspect does it like please. |

Here's the last of the tulips... Blushing Beauty - they're very tall but hold themselves up well!  Danceline - not tall and have flopped all over the place!  And my favourite combination - Ballerina and Doll's Minuet.  I'm trying to talk OH into going to Pashley Manor for some ideas for next year! ;D |
