Very kind of you to say so Cliff - the photographer in this house pooh poohs my snaps!

Oh Maggi, there are very many plants which  would not
grow in our soil. For instance most Ericaceae and many
plants suited to peat beds are impossible here.
Our pH is about 6.5 !

Well April has two hours left in our time zone. Just enough time to post two pictures of things starting to happen here . Our internet connection has slowed to 16.8 kps which makes it hard to keep up. I think we will have to get a sky link to fully participate. Many wonderful photos being posted.

Jeepers, Brian, you have been busy. Great plants and great photographs.

Rob, there you are squeezing the last drop out of April and good plants too. I wonder if that is Salix hylematica? This plant is in my mind as I have been scolded here at home for cutting it right back to the base, reduced from four feet X four feet to 4 inches X four inches. It was beginning to take over - again.

Paddy, re. the willow pic that Rob posted. I went and checked the label, and it is Salix aff. subopposita. It stays quite small, never much taller than 12 inches (30cm).

Many thanks, Sharon. It's a very nice looking plant.


Remind me of the name of the yellow-flowered shrub with the wisteria, that dreadfully smelling foliage remains in my mind.
