March 2nd - and a lovely day so I managed to take a few pictures of the hellebores before they are spoilt by the rain.
All these flowers are from seedlings
A few photographs of plants in flower or showing colour today - hope this will be an ongoing yearly record from our members which will give a taste of conditionsat this particular time.
A contribution from Aileen Butler who gardens in Lowestoft, Suffolk
Spring is tentatively making its appearance and among the welter of white blackthorn and yellow daffodils are the rich blues and pinks of the pulmonarias.
Just a small selection, from the many forms at their best in early September and October. The amellus cultivars with their rough leaves are less prone to mildew than the novi-belgii sorts and generally need little, if any staking - the butterflies are also fond of their daisy-like centres.
