    This Thalictrum had no leaves at all three days ago. They grow rather fast!

            :heehee::heehee:. They are popular with the Bees, so I have several clumps of them.

                Bit hit and miss here at moment but have seen a couple of large queen bees. I found one on the floor a couple of weeks ago, crawling around looking very sorry for herself. I picked her up and put her on a heather. She was there for ages drinking before buzzing off. I was sat on the patio later and a large queen appeared and flew around me before flying off. Same bee perhaps, I don't know, but would like to think so :). I saw a Red Admiral butterfly couple of days ago :)

                  We've had a lot around for about two weeks. They started off on the heather but quickly moved to the Pulmonaria as we now have hundreds in flower. The bees seem to prefer them to any of the other flowers. I would guess there were a couple of hundred bees the other day when I was weeding through the Pulmonaria in the warm sunshine.

                        Can I get a picture of my bed? looking very tempting at the moment!

                        Peach tree in full blossom looks lovely just now, we'll start awakening the over wintered greenhouse plants at the weekend...... if I wake up in time, you guessed, Vince is tired!

                                @JWK beautiful garden and so are all of the others pictured here. I still have snow in some areas and not a peep of anything trying to fight up through it so it is really pleasant to see these pictures. Thank you!
