Here we are again me lovelies with the garden in April and on time for once and it's Tulip time.
As our American Sisters would say; 'They give you a lot of bang for your buck'. All of these are crammed into just 3 pots. They are planted on different levels and as the first to flowers fade they are cleared to make space for the upcoming flowers.
In a small garden succession planting is everything. Our 'Tête-à-Tête' daffs are over but we now have these.
I have never neglected a plant like I neglect our Auriculas but they come back every year.
Brunnera
A double flower on Doronicum 'Little Leo' Leopard's bane. How fab is that!
Ipheion
Our recently divided Geranium phaeum. We now have two.
What would Spring be without the scent of Wallflowers.
There Tiz then me darlins and now it's time to jump up into the Land-rover and tour the rest of our vast estate.
Our two newly planted Clematis
The foxgloves are now big enough to flower and as we sowed them not last year but late the the year before we are looking forward to a good display this year.
Great news. the Taro has come through another Winter totally unprotected. It might not look like much now but just and wait and see what it will do.
The Fens are unfurling and Donny is already getting excited to see what the garden will do next month.
April Has been fab but roll on May when I think the garden will really kick off.
Till the It's

It's Ttfn from me.
Toodle loo and Pip Pip.
WOW! Such an impressive display, sweetpea! You and Mistress Maddie have inspired me to try my hand at container gardening for next Spring! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to wait until next Spring my dear savannah, Just find some nice pots stick some plants in and hey presto you have a container garden.
DeleteIt is not to late to plant Lilies in pots and they will give you a stunning show.
I look forward to seeing what you decide to do in the next 'I N F O M A N I A C' Garden Photos Event.
An impressive set of photos indeed! I love this time of year - in a matter of a few short weeks, the garden transforms into something new almost before our eyes... Jx
ReplyDeleteExactement mon chérie.
DeleteOur Tulips and Daffs didn't last long due to the arid conditions, so it's lovely to see yours.
ReplyDeleteI love a Clematis - so I look forward to your display.
Sx
Arid ! in Devon !
DeleteHaving said that the weather has been (as my mother would say) 'Up and Down like a Whores Drawers'
We love Clematis too and have a fab one covered in buds now so stay tuned for the next post in May.
Frühlingsschönheit und Magie in Ihrem Garten. :)
ReplyDeleteIhre Tulpin und Narzissen werden die Niederländer neidisch machen.
(vvs)
Wie nett von Ihnen, das zu sagen.
DeleteDas Lustige ist, dass wahrscheinlich alle Tulpenzwiebeln aus Holland stammen.
