Morning, another tree blossom, this is fruiting cherry Prunus avium ‘Stella’ - we have two grown in very large pots. We usually get a small bowl of cherries each and the birds have the rest! Happy Monday. 😊🌸

Morning, another tree peony, this time very pink! These are large blooms about 17cm 7” across with no scent, but what a colour! Today I will be relaxing in the garden after doing too much yesterday. Well that’s the plan. 😂 Enjoy your day.

Picked up this pretty Portmeirion pot in a charity shop, going to use it for inspiration for my mosaic of April’s birthday flower - daisies. As it’s the last day of April tomorrow I best get started!

Morning, Lamprocapnos spectabilis ‘Alba’ the white bleeding heart. This one flowers slightly later than the red and pink varieties in my garden, but I like it even more. A gentle day today. Expecting a nice parcel, who doesn’t love a parcel! Have a good day. 🤍🤍🤍

Morning, the fabulous new leaves of Acer Tsuma-Gaki also known as Painted fingernails. If you’ve seen my pinned tweet or read my profile you’ll know my passion is my Acer collection, most in pots some in the ground like this one. Spring colour is wonderful. Happy May #AcerHoarder

April’s birthday flower for April in mosaic originally from a kit supplied by Inspiring Creativity - but with added daisies from extra tiles I bought as I like them so much! #mosaic

Morning, this is Wisteria floribunda f. rosea 'Hon-beni' or ‘ Pink Ice’ and it’s on a very old pergola outside our conservatory. The scent is amazing. This is the first time in the last 5 years it hasn’t been damaged by frost or wind 🤞🏻. More pics when fully out. Have a good day.

Evening, flowers in the mirror this week, Matt bought me Coral peonies and I added Solomons seal and aquilegia from the garden. #FlowersOnFriday

Morning, a wider view of the huge tree peonies in full flower. They will have gone over in a few days time, but the fabulous architectural leaves stay until winter. Have a great weekend. 😊🌺

Afternoon. The Wisteria is almost all out. The scent is wonderful. Hoping no frost on Monday, forecast looking dicey. 😊🌸

Morning, the flowers of Vinca major variegata. I love the colour of these. In the background, Akebia quinata the chocolate vine. It’s settled in well, but put most of its growth and super flowers through to our neighbours side of the fence!😂Good job he likes it! Happy Sunday💙

Morning, this is the rather lovely flowering hawthorn tree Crataegus laevigata 'Crimson Cloud' . Not the sharpest photo, but showing it standing out against the glorious almost purple Acer behind. Overnight frost, glad I tucked the dahlias back in the greenhouse. Have a good day.

Morning, the clear white blossom of the small shrub Deutzia gracilis Nikko with light almond fragrance currently flowering outside Matt’s workshop. We are off to buy wood today for his next project, I haven’t seen his design, but sounds interesting. Have a lovely day.

Morning. I love these flowers on the large shrub Kolkwitzia amabilis or beauty bush. This one was quite small here when we moved in 10 years ago. Has grown and is now 3m high, but the long arching stems flower all the way down starting off dark pink getting paler as they open.🌸

Morning, the glorious leaves of my favourite Acer in a pot this is Acer palmatum ‘Ariadne’ a reticulated leaf Acer, meaning you can see the veins on the leaf. It is the most glorious spring colour. I keep thinking I’ll plant it in the ground🤔#AcerHoarder Happy Friday!
