The Delargo Gardens - March

 Here we are again me dears. March is over and hopefully so is Winter. The garden is re-awaking and everything has started into growth. The birds are singing away but it's still chilly so grab your fur wrap and lets begin our look around the gardens here at Delargo Towers.

This little alpine daffodil is a joy and brightened up a dull month.

 the return of old friends Ipheion uniflorum “Jessie” and “Rolf Fiedler”

Last year's Crocus have flowered again.

 We have had this Chionodoxa forbesei “Pink Giant” for a few years now and it's looking lovely this year

The violas are still going strong even with tulips bursting through on full thrust.

So looking forward to next month when the tulips come into flower.

Still blooming away, Polyanthus -

and Doronicum orientale 'Leonardo' (Leopard's Bane)

The Cyclamen has had its last flush and now has gone over.

as have the Tete a Tete daffs but they gave us a fab display for St David's Day.

There we are then me lovelies, A little more to show than last month but I am sure we will have a full house for April. Now 'tiz time to climb up into the Land-rover and tour our vast estate.

We have lost the use of the kitchen. It been taking over by Salvia, Begonias and Dahlias.

We are over the moon that the Taro plant came through the winter without protection and has started back into growth

and we thought you might like to know that the orchid is still going strong and shows no sign of starting to fade anytime soon.

Donny is getting excited and looking forward to the April garden and we hope to see you there, then. There should be lots to see.


So till then me dears it's Ttfn from Donny and Ttfn from me.

Toodle-loo and Pip Pip.
