Here are some photographs of what's happening here in West Lothian. Oh I do soooo love spring!!! Some of my daffodils. Big ones. Middle sized ones. and small ones. Peony rose showing her lovely red shoots. Bleeding heart - pretty in pink. Stikingly red. Purple cyclamen Little pansies. Polyanthus. Clematis and ivy. Forsythia. Tomatoes, peppers, bizzie lizzies and fuschia babies.
Wonderful pics Eileen, thanks for the touch of spring on this cloudy, overcast, gray, dreary Louisiana morning. What is the plant titled strikingly red? I have a weed that grow here that looks like that, but it certainly doesn't make those flowers.
Oh Eileen you do know how to tap into the hearts of GardenStew members I could get the smell of a fresh Scottish morning garden from here. Out of interest how did your tomatoes do last year?
My tomatoes produced so much fruit last year that we're still eating chutney now!!! We gave pounds and pounds away to neighbours, friends and even Ian's workmates. This year I'm trying some new seed varieties that EJ sent me as well as some old favourites. They'll all be transplanted once they're a little bigger. Hopefully, if we have another hot summer they'll end up on the patio as they did last year. :-D
Those are just so wonderful colors.I love the pictures and the beautiful flowers.I think the Clematis are my favorites the colors are so great just was wishing I had some here.
Gorgeous beginning to spring, Eileen. I haven't been out back in a couple of days and your pictures remind me to correct that.
I love all of them but especially that ivy in the basket! My peonies are just little itty bitty red buds poking through the dirt and my bleeding hearts are starting to look frilly. Which reminds me... last summer I dug up a bleeding heart volunteer and transplanted it. It is starting to come up and it is red. Does this mean the flowers will be pink? Where it was "born" there are pink and white parent plants I didn't even realize bleeding hearts re-seeded but I'm sure happy to have a "new baby" Deanna :-D
Oooo, look at all the pretties and garden babies! My forsythia is having a slow start this year - yours looks wonderful. What a pleasing and uplifting tour.
:-D WOW!! You've really got it happening there, Eileen. Your bleeding hearts look so robust. I hope that mine have survived winter (I do see little nubs ) and will thrive this year . . . I have a history of killing them.
