    Love your aconites roders, like Kedi I have tried to grow them for a couple of years but had no joy, and I'm sure I planted some bulbs last year but can't remember where! so maybe they will suddenly appear, hope so.

    My snowdrops are just showing which is a joy and plenty of emerging shoots of various things to look forward to.

    More cheery yellow flowers ... it's always a joy when the Euryops chrysanthemoides blooms this time of year. I keep the shrub to about 1.5 metres ...

    It has soft, Meleleuca-like foliage on stems that hold a cluster of flowers about 3cm across, each cluster containing 15-20 tiny 5mm daisies ...

    And I just couldn't resist my first Osteo opening this morning ...

    Lovely, Sis. We need something bright on this dull day. I like how you did the pink one.

    Pleased it cheered you girls up. [​IMG] The Euryops is really so vibrant ... Sis can vouche for me as she's been here and seen them for real. [​IMG]

    Sis, this shrub really does get leggy naturally so me severely cutting it back doesn't actually hurt it, thankfully.

    Whiley, pleased to see you back and hope all goes well for you in all respects. [​IMG]
