Hi denny's baby, glad those blooms welcomed your morning,..i was up early this morning,..promised to be a calm sunny day,..ideal for gardening. =================================================== Hi Eileen, it sure cheers a person up to see all the buds appearing,..i have all the doors and windows open here this morning,..rearing to get stuck into the garden,..to see what's just appearing to surface.
I am still crazy about that wall flower! I love it in every post And the rose trunk "stake"...you are the master!!! :-D
Yep, spring has sprung! Wonderful photos, Philip. I love Pulmonaria, the flowers are so sweet and colorful. Alas, I don't have one now, maybe that shall be on my wish list. We have had such warm weather and now on day two of nice, gentle rain. All growing things are waking up and really taking off. Hoping for some pretty flowers to show off soon.
Hi Deanna, that wallflower is a winner,..to think it never stopped flowering since last summer,..to be on the safe side i took two cuttings and they are coming along fine,..but just look at the parent plant in the flower container,..looks like i might need a second container like this.

Everything looking green. ( photo / image / picture from Philip Nulty's Garden )
Yesterday was the warmest day we have had since last summer,..soooooo a good start to spring,..it was 18C-66F so i did some perspiring while gardening,..all due to a visitor bearing gifts,..well seeds that is,..Hollyhock,..Lupin,..cornflower,..and Aster,..so i managed to find a spot to sow them,..however its got to the stage it takes moving around some heavy containers to make more room,.. plus getting rid of some Ferns,..sadly. Cowslips and Primroses last night. ( photo / image / picture from Philip Nulty's Garden )
