    Lovely pictures, Woo and Roders. I was walking through a park the other day which had an avenue of flowering cherries (I'm too ignorant to know which sort) and caught a whiff of scent ... couldn't place it for a while, and then I remembered. It was just like those 'bitter cherry' boiled sweets my mum used to buy years ago!

    Lovely cheery pictures - shades of pink are coming into their own at this time of year. :thumb:

    Last week's warm weather brought the Kerria out.

    The hard winter seems to have helped the tree peonies and this has 14 buds on it so far.

    [​IMG]


    This ceanothus is ready to open but some others have opened and some aren't showing buds yet.

    Clematis bud.

    These lovelies don't need naming :).

    Lovely photos everyone. Some hot colours from me ...

    Between the sunshine and showers over the weekend I managed to capture the first blooms on my Alstroemeria which overwintered well in a pot here ...

    [​IMG]

    And I just love my Cuphea llavea, just wish it was a bit bushier as it's a bit leggy ...

    My most disliked flower bloomed yesterday ... I say 'nost' because it is invasive and I cannot get rid of it .... in the gravel, cracks in paths ... you name it .. NEVER plant it in the ground ...
