            Lovely tulips @shiney . Mine have been very disappointing this year, but they are mostly in pots and I think I was too neglectful with keeping an eye on the watering during that long dry spell in April :redface:

            I've been enjoying the view over the fence recently - you wouldn't know there was a Travis Perkins yard less that 20m away :biggrin:

                @wiseowl Woo,
                Dublin Bay rose now displaying some blooms.
                Still smells delicious but shows signs of having been in the wars,

                        Love that lilac Woo. Wot's its name?
                        I tried to grow Katherine Hayvemayer some 40 years ago in a new garden . It was a 12" stick in a border but the young kids playing football in the garden knocked its head off and it never grew....
                        Yours looks similar....

                              Apple blossom's looking rather good this year, hope it gets better pollination than the Cherries did last month.

                              There's so much on the trees I'm hoping for a bumper foraging/cider making year and finding trees that I've never noticed before.
