Springing from the ground...guess that's why they call it spring.... (from 27th April)

I've never made a secret of my 'amour' for fritillaries, and they are looking particularly gorgeous right now, with their improbable snake heads and cross-hatched petals.

This was the front garden beginning to awake - after the slugs have been up for weeks already. I think slugs and snails may be the new super-race as they seem tireless and impervious to life's vissitudes. I've ordered some nematodes from the internet that I've heard may be the answer.

I think the planting of this bed needs some work - the new Hebe at the front is the first step to an improved structure and year-round interest>

You can see these from Jamie's desk.

Here come the forget-me-nots.

These are Alliums.

Yet another Hebe.
