WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN MARCH 2018

Fabulous @JWK, I'm slightly green! The seedlings you sent me are doing well and are about to flower too......well I think they are but currently under about 1ft of snow

 

They are BEE U TIFUL now that truly fulfills the thread title BUT, IMHO for those blooms it should say whats looking SENsational If ever there was a plug pardon the pun to encourage gardeners to buy from established Nurseries such as the one you purchased these from this is IT !!! - for sharing @JWK - no prizes for guessing where im heading for some online shopping

 

Our first attempt at growing Hellebore, we've started with just four of them for now and hope they will thrive and multiply

And another thing looking good in the garden is all the lovely birds, I could spend hours watching them. We had a wood pigeon gathering huge twigs and flying off with them, he looked so funny. And we had goldfinches which we hadn't seen for a few months so that was nice to see them today.

During the bad snow we even had our first sighting of fieldfare, eating all the berries on our honeysuckle hedge.

 

Having good look around, it appears that I haven't lost anything despite everything being coated in ice for two days. Just the browning of the Acacia and Sophora damage, quite a relief
The Enstete Maurelii which survived -7c last winter in the ground and left in again has survived the last week with just a fleece bag over it, it should have died.

I bought a batch of twelve of the same , also from Hayloft around three-years ago . They too have shrugged off the Siberian blast and are in full flower as normal . I cannot fault them ; excellent and totally reliable perennials .

 

Some of the blubs I dug out of the compost turned out to be little daffodiles

 

That's good to know, John. As I mentioned elsewhere, the seedlings from my original 3 doubles are all coming single, but perhaps they weren't Ellen ones! Will be planting the new Hayloft ones well away from any singles!

 

Lovely to see your garden and the blanket of snow @redstar enjoyed listening to your crunchy footsteps too!

Hi @longk your comment did make me laugh mate ...a statement i'd use myself

 

did you hear the Doves in the beginning. walked by them sitting in my almond tree and they startled away. while I was down there, filled the bird feeder. today, the snow is frozen over with ice. not fluffy anymore. hope the roads are good, have to venture out.

 

No, but it was a great excuse to watch it again! (approx. 32 seconds into the film )
