Hi David
Greetings from your Yorkshire home. How is the Broadwell Milkmaid doing, the Primula marginata 'Sheila Denby' you sent me is still surviving. Not flowered yet but marginatas struggle a bit for me.
I hope the evening has gone well.
Cheers
Mick

Hi from Blackpool.

David - I can't hear you for noise, is someone eating crisps?

Hello David, welcome from snowbound Massachusetts, New England, USA.

A photo of snow on my deck 2 days ago, now imagine another 60 cm on top of that.
And a couple photos of warmer weather and plants to come.

Cheers,

Hello to the Devon group!!

Greetings from Canberra, Australia. Currently 6:30am and barely light.  A balmy 21.5oC, with significant overnight rain (have had nearly 25mm before I went to bed last night).  Forecast 30oC here today, somewhat different from you all in the UK I would imagine (and definitely different to you Mark!!).

And Michael, those are absolutely stunning Hepaticas!!  :o The intensity of that first one, and such a beautiful double blue in the second.  Thanks so much for showing us them. 8)  Great pics, everyone!!

G'night All!!  I'm going back to bed now.  ;D ;D

..and greetings from Norway too.

Not sure where the meeting is being held but I went to University in Exeter a long time ago now, so here's a shot of the campus which is also an arboretum (and inspired me, although I was studying Maths and Physics)

Hope you are not as windy in the South West as we are here in gusty Northumberland.  Have a great evening!
