    I dunno, mine are not showing any flower buds as yet, which is not normal, usually a couple overwinter and a couple or so come up in early spring.

    Woo, thanks for starting this off with a cheerful spring photo :thumbsup:

    Vikky, wonderful bright colours as usual :)

    simbad, the hellebores and euphorbias seem to have done very well this year. That bee seems to be enjoying the skimmia. :)



    Our fairly wide range of hellebores seem to have produced their own variation this year.
    This one has been around for some time in one of our hellebore patches

    [​IMG]

    but I don't remember having planted this one near it

    [​IMG]



    This dicentra seems to have started a bit early for being in a fairly exposed part of the garden

    [​IMG]



    The yellow flowering lamium in one of our woodland areas is ready to burst into bloom

    [​IMG]


    When it does, this whole area becomes a mass of yellow flowers

    [​IMG]



    This woodland area is also starting to bring some colour

    [​IMG]



    I've forgotten what these are :heehee:

    [​IMG]



    The golden plum tree is coming into very heavy flower

    [​IMG]



    Our yellow and ruby epimediums are starting to show colour

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]



    Beepo!!

    [​IMG]



    This amarylis is very happy under the maple tree which is just coming into leaf and bud

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]



    This Katsura is an early maple and looks great in April and May

    [​IMG]



    The flowering cherry is turning our lawn into a pink and green carpet

    [​IMG]



    I'm trying to remember the name of this tree but it is covered in thousands of these at the moment

    [​IMG]




    In January we widened this bed by 200 sq ft and stuck bulbs in the front for early instant colour. The other plants are just settling in.
