What's looking good APRIL 2024

Thank you @Victoria, they are self seeded ones and come back every year. This year they are coming up in my raised bed too !

 

Yours are further on then mine @Michael Hewett - my Erythroniums are just budding up.
They're very pretty, and - like yours, mine have gradually spread. I've got a potful ready to find a little spot for.

 

I've never heard of Erythroniums before. They look so pretty, @Michael Hewett.

 

Escarpment I have some white honesty seed
Should you need any more please let me know.

 

Thank you. Strange how these in the garden are in full flower but the ones in pots inside a cold frame are hardly up yet.

 

Peppermint Stick tulip - similar to Lady Jane, but flowering a bit later. Note to self and others: mix them and you are likely to get a longer display.

 

Those are pretty @pitter-patter and a good name for them. My Lady Janes have grown very weedy and floppy this year and the flowers are small. I may try to get some of these to go with them.

 

Yes, mine have had a similar ‘relaxed’ attitude as well - couchant, shall we say.

 

Mine were given to me by a lady on the other forum, who lived about 30 mins away from me @ViewAhead . I think of her every time they flower, as she died a few years ago.
I don't know what variety they are, but possibly the one that's easiest to grow here - Pagoda.

 

The portable citrus grove


Scilla peruviana ..shame the phone camera doesn't do the colour justice!


Taking photos of the Hostas before either hail or slugs and snails get to them....

Queen of Night tulips ..they've been there for 14 years now and increase slowly.


The first Wisteria floribunda macrobotrys flowers opening...

 

The white fritillaries are getting more prominent now

 

I like the citrus grove @noisette47 what are they, mixture I guess lemon, lime...........etc.
What is the diameter of the barrels.

 

My Acer, Orange Dream is a picture at the moment is its new Spring glory, despite being lashed by the storms. It really lights up the dark corner where I planted it.

 

4 lemons, 2 satsumas, 2 caviar limes, 1 kaffir lime, 1 ordinary lime, 1 sweet orange and a weird mandarin thing that was supposed to be a sweet Indian lime and that I'll be having words about with the nurseryman this month The half-barrels are 70cms across.

 

Nice collection.
Quite large containers then.
