April round-up - Flowers

On the plant ladder the Witch Hazel and Wisteria (second row down) and in leaf, but the trailing geranium has been hit a little by the frost. Might take some cuttings as a back up in case she bites the dust.

 Lung-wort is in flower. The early bees enjoy this and it does well in the shade. Very reliable.

 Will get round to finishing the path on the Victorian garden this week, weather permitting.

 Wallflowers are starting to come into flower. Bought these in January. Very hardy fellas. Bees like them too.

 Rambling rose is coming on well. No sign of the dreaded green fly yet.

 Sweet peas sown in the autumn and overwintered in the greenhouse are very strong. Heuchera next to it seems to have been battered by the frost though.

 Foxgloves are doing well. Not sure about the little fella in the middle. Bought these from a car-boot sale at the end of last summer, so not sure what variety or colour they will be. I guess we'll soon find out!

Pond needs a good lean out. Hope to get this done this week. No signs of tadpoles yet, which is a bit disappointing.

 Marsh marigolds are doing much better this year.

 Bog-garden is actually very dry at the moment, so good that we're having some rain at last. Aubretia is in flower and lilies are doing well.

 Managed to get the trellis up behind the clematis a few months ago and paint a few fence panels.

 Should have a good show this year. I think this clematis is a Montana. Not sure which group it is in. Will probably need a bit of a prunes later in the year.

 First Anemone's planted last year are beginning to show.

 The flower seller on the local High Street was packing up and giving away boxes of daffodils. They were past their best, so chucked them on the compost heap.

 Next door's cat is doing a good job of keeping the Heron away. Keep it up Theo!
