Truly lovely photos of plants in your garden to prove things are growing and spring is here, although stuttering in somewhat. I have one grape hyacinth which has several blooms. It came from my friend's spring flower display on the tables at her wedding reception at Losely Park:)
My particular favourites are the wallflowers. My dad always grew loads of them and I also love the way they grow from the walls of old ruins. So very lovely. I WILL get some pansies in and maybe a couple of other things once this next bout of frost has passed.
We are supposed to get a new hedge soon and I'm a bit loathe to do much in case everything gets knocked about or trampled.
I know, I'm wearing a fleece as it's chillier today but warmer than the weather forecaster said it would be. It's nice and sunny but a friend who lives 5 miles away has just had a hail storm!
I have fritillaries but I didn't know they prefer damp. They are surviving on the bank where I planted them, but maybe I'll move them to a damper space and let them thrive.
Hah, I see LJ is working again. Yes, fritillaries grow in damp places like Christ Church Meadow, which is famous for them (you probably knew that). Mine are at the base of a bank but that side of the garden gets wet.

Nothing like the smell of wallflowers. Spring? We've just had a hail storm. You don't know what to wear from one day to the next.
