Lovely, Mike!
Here starts Lathyrus vernus ´Blaulichter´.
Corydalis cava
Arum concinnatum adds a bit of jungle-feeling.

Sue Simpson's primulas looking good, even with no shows to go to.
Note the tuufa wall at the far end of this glasshouse.

My word, that's quite a setup! And the results speak for themselves. Absolutely beautiful.

The Callianthemum that I posted in the March thread is now fully out.
Corylopsis sinensis
. Years ago Rachel Lever gave me some seeds from their bush, from which I grew two plants. They flower beautifully every year. As well as being a beautiful primrose yellow, they also have a strong primrose scent which drifts through the garden.
Emerging shoots of a
Lilium pardalinum
hybrid, grown from Lily Group seed many years ago. This is at the bottom of the garden where the soil is pretty much always wet, and it seems very happy there.
Peony shoots are always full of promise. This came to me as
Paeonia mascula
subsp.
arietina
'Northern Glory'.
...and this is 'Scarlett O'Hara', a super hybrid.

Lovely pictures from everyone.
This Camellia was a birthday gift probably 10+ years ago from a friend. It had come from a supermarket and was a single stem about a foot high. Now it is over 6 foot and flowering beautifully except that the cold winds often turn the flowers brown.
Our first Melicytus alpina came from John Dennis and the two we have now are seedlings from the original. A member of the Violaceae family the flowers are minute. It usually floweres in time for Glasgow Show and after judging we put out a magnifying glass so people could see the flowers all of them hanging under the branches.
A small collection of Narcissi. Two pots of N. rupicola both from our own seed. N. Watierii grown from seed from Gothenburg Botanic and N. Fairy Chimes.

Also out in the garden at the moment.
Omphalodes cappadocia.
Pachyphragma macrophylla.
Ranunculus ficaria and R. ficaria Brazen Hussy. Brazen Hussy is a bit of a thug but at least you can spot the bronze leaves and root it out.

Brian and I went on a short walk the other day to see if our favourite plant was flowering yet. Down at the bottom of the field next to the path most people just walk past but we always say hello and take a picture.
Caltha palustris the Marsh Marigold.

That´s a lovely harbinger of spring, Shelagh! I wish I could grow it in my garden!
The yellow of Coronilla valentina ssp glauca must do for me, at least it´s scented.
Scilla greilhuberi produced some secondary scapes.

Pictures of Saxifraga oppositilfolia - from SRGC Ptresdient Julia Corden
Julia says " Saxifraga oppositifolia in all its glory, the best show I’ve seen it do in this location in 18 years. You don’t even have to get out of the car as the Cliff is right by the road 😊. Highland Perthshire "

The very slightest signs of snow this morning on the car but bright sunshine soon cleared it. Mariette I love your Coronilla so bright and cheery.
Julia all those Saxes what a wonderful sight. It's funny that so many plants seem to be doing so well this year. We're waiting on Ramonda nathaliae JCA686 it has more buds than ever this year and there's no Shows
Hoy your Corydalis is a lovely shade of blue do you know which one it is?
