Whats Looking Good April 2025

Callistemon and Hibiscus on a grey day cheers me ...

 

I see your Heucheras are doing well @wiseowl .

 

Just sitting in the shade.

 

A neat and well tended garden @simone_in_wiltshire .

 

Thanks @Plantminded
Admittedly, there isn’t much to do in my garden. Weeds have no chance. Only my neighbour’s bindweed reoccurs and I need to have a word with him about it.

 

Only a few days left in this heat.

 

What a difference six weeks make.
Not a snail in sight ………..yet.

 

Got a few Pictures from April , the Amelanchier has had a good year

 

You know you have successfully overwintered a lobelia outside when it opens up its first flower. Chuffed!

 

Berberis sheridaniana Ogisu 93033 young foliage colour.

Really enjoying your pics. Thought I’d better post some myself as the month is ending…



White theme: Hebe, Choisia, Solomen’s Seal, Hosta, Hawthorn.



Purple and pink theme: Rhododendrons, Lilac and Heuchera ‘Blackberry Jam’.



Azaleas under Acer, Ceanothus and a ‘Van Gogh’ Erysimum.

 

Ranunculus. First time I've managed to get one to flower, after 3 years of trying to grow them. They're not as exciting as they look in the pictures on the packet ...


Muscari "Nature's Beauty".


Camassia



The last of my daffs to emerge - most of them are over now. This is Narcissus "More and More". The flowers are about the size of my thumb nail, and the stems are like blades of grass.

 

My acer shindeshojo doing it's Spring thing.
The leaves turn to green by midsummer, so I chop it all back to about 1ft and by the following spring it's back to it's Spring blaze of red.
I planted it 30ish years ago - in the wrong place
