Lithodora diffusa ‘Blue Star’ this plant stands out of the crowd. Easy to grow and propagate #alpineplants

Bought this last week now flowering Iris 'Rajah' a 1942 Kenneth and Catherine Smith introduction

One of my favourite small trees Halesia carolina, commonly called the snowdrop tree in the family Styracaceae, native to the southeastern United States.

A brilliant year for Cercis siliquastrum, commonly known as the Judas tree. This one has had decades of skilled pruning to create what we have today, it’s the finest example of a wall trained one I have ever seen @EH_WrestPark English Heritage

Well done team it’s stunning again this year 👌👌👌

Arisaema candidissimum originating in western China. Often referred to as the Chinese cobra lily

One of my favourites this is Rosa banksiae 'Lutea' it is a thornless species. Hopefully by next year it will have covered the top of the chicken run

One of the later tulips to flower Tulipa batalinii Bronze Charm has only just opened up

Yesterday we got 3 new bantams to add to our flock. They are only 8 weeks old

Roscoea beesiana 'Monique'

A new plant to me, didn’t know this cultivar existed Camellia japonica 'Femme Fatale' worth growing just for its leaves. Saw it Frosts Garden Centres

The Dalia border @EH_WrestPark is looking stunning at the moment it’s also alive with bees 🐝
