Re: Spring colour.....


What a lot of colour!
Isn't April fantastic? It seems to go from "OK- here's yellow, just to get you in the mood" at the start of the month to "And here's everything else" by the end.
Just hope we don't get late frosts - I've lost the Peiris red for the last two springs

This has been the coldest winter we've had for many years and yet the red on the Pieris is the best it's ever been ........ hope it doesn't get spoilt with the frosts

Perfectly described DM! My OH and I were only talking about the speed at which everything "springs" the other day.

Re: Spring colour.....


These are real spring pics Mags. We are probably about 3 or 4 weeks away from the azalea flowering. Love the colour of the 2nd one.

Re: Spring colour.....


Stunning pics, dazzling color! So nice after the drab, grey Winter. We're about a week or 10 days away from the azaleas, but the dogwoods and wisteria are starting to bloom. You have a lovely garden, Mags!
