Luc, are all your plants flowering now? Must be quite a sight! Anything left for the summer display;)

The tiny Bessia received last year has wintered well in the coldframe, plunged in chips.

Well, the early warm weather will make it a short season I'm afraid Hoy... but I hope there will be left some beauties for later on.

This is the most colourful time of year anyway.

Here's some general views of the garden over the last few days.

You have a wonderful garden Luc
That Arenaria catches my eye every time you post a view of that part of the garden.
The Lewisias look really good as well as everything else of course.

Luc, Frankie : is every garden in Belgium perfect like yours?  What a fine display of so many lovely plants in such pretty gardens..... it is a pleasure to see and share your pictures. Thank you!

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Thanks Graham, Angie, Frankie and Maggi ! 
Not all is perfect in our gardens Maggi... we just don't make pictures of the "non perfect" corners...

Some lovely stuff all round. Nice to see spring's arrived with you John.

Not in the garden, but I visited a large colony of Primula veris today that I had seen near my workplace. Just thought that I would share a couple of photographs.
