        @strongylodon I remember that last year your Saphora had the same problem as ours with the leaves dying - it still flowered well. We have a small patch if it happening again. Is yours doing it? It has started to flower well now and I'll take a photo when it stops drizzling and brightens up.

        We were out yesterday and I took a few photos.

        Daffs, just going over

        These frits were growing in profusion amongst the daffs

        These Jacquemontii were looking good and I especially liked the sign in the front

            @shiney, no problem with the leaves this year although the flowers are already dropping.

                    What's looking good in April?

                    My Bed!

                    Other than that.... peach tree just finished blossoming and Blamley apple tree just coming into blossom, Oh (excuse grammar)? Carol's Lily has started flowering.

                    Carol and the dogs look good too!:bigthumb:

                      They look good @wiseowl , just remember they like to be kept damp ( I used to grow them in a trough topped up with about an inch of water ).

                            @CarolineL - your Pleione are way ahead of mine! Do you give them 'winter love'?

                            With the house move and everything it's been a while since I've had time to post (and I've managed to lose an SD card with more photos on as well :dunno:).

                            In my parents garden is this Erysium that I grew from seed for them. Much better left as a perennial in my opinion...............
                            [​IMG]Erysimum by longk48, on Flickr

                            Indoors, my Oncidium is early this year..................

                            I've got a later shot of my Lachenalia aloides in full bloom on my other card (when it turns up) but this will have to do for now................
                            [​IMG]Lachenalia aloides by longk48, on Flickr

                            Graptopetalum rusbyi................

                            Finally, this Corydalis cheilanthifolia seedling was very keen to be the first in bloom this year..............
