Continuing with odd ones, Paraserianthes lophantha in flower in late Feb. never got it passed early Jan. before.

 

@pete haven't grown that in years, does it set seed?
btw do you have any spare Caesalpinnia Gillesii seed left, I fancy having a go again as I brought some C pulcherimma seed back from Tenerife, although I don't expect much success there.

Acacia dealbata flowering better than ever.

 

Yeah, still got some Caesalpinia seed if you PM your address I'll send you a few.
Never had seed on Paraserianthes.

 

Polyanthus and crocus, hubby's got to do the roses and the lavender needs the old flower stems cut off but the weather is too wet to do it all.
This one is a seedling that I've grown, it's a cross between a Primrose and polyanthus
early rhubarb called Timperley early.
I've got so many hellebores I might not get around to cutting the old leaves off.

 

May not be 'looking good ' but it's what we're 'looking at'
A few pics from this afternoon, maybe a tad blurred as it's quite breezy today.

 

Picture perfect Upsy ... credit to you. Beautiful home and grounds.
