Spring colour

Spring has sprung, so let's celebrate!  The camellias in the garden are in full bloom.  Above is an unnamed one I bought as a stick and it is doing really well and flowering profusely.
This unnamed double was a present from my Mum and has enjoyed being potted on.
Camellia St Ewe with its egg yolk yellow stamens.
Camellia Yoimachi which has had flowers through the winter.
Other flowers in bloom are Cardamine Quinquefolia which is certainly spreading through the border, but so far, hasn't proved to be a nuisance.
Prunus incisa Kojo-no-mai with its pretty white flowers.
When the sun shines, just look at the beautiful blue sky.  A lovely Spring colour.
Echoing the blue sky, I recently potted these scillas on into a bigger pot and they have rewarded me with a mass of flowers.  Such a pretty plant. I need some more of these, I think! I also have my first tulips flowering in the border.  No doubt they will get a post in the weeks to come.

  2. Beautiful. I love the Camellia St Ewe with it's yellow stamens, I saw one flowering at Dunham Massey when we visited in February. I don't think my tulips are anywhere near flowering yet, I need to take another look at them, perhaps they are.

    1. Thanks, Jo. It's Tulip Brown Sugar which is first to flower for me so far. Lots more to come though, so I am looking forward to seeing them. Camellia St Ewe's flowers shine out from the bottom of the garden and I am enjoying seeing them.
