Thanks, everyone, glad to know that Aberdeen can lighten a corner at times,eh?!!

 I thought this was a good foliage combo... from the top... Ophiopogon ( we have this dotted about the place, I like it!) then Aquilegia, Colchicum leaves and rhododendron leaves along the right hand side

Rhododendron pachysanthum buds are bursting....

112627-1

Maggi, your Primula marginatas are more advanced than mine and mine are in the greenhouse. Lovely selection of plants.

John... et al, you are too kind, thank you.   I hoped that you could overlook one or two fuzzy photos to enjoy the flavour of the place ...... I am reasonably pleased with some of the shots .....I'm getting better at holdingthe camera steady! :P

Paddy I'm not a fan of the genus Salix. With the lot of drainage systems in this area Salix is a weed. But see this Salix in flower by a friend I must have it, now growing two year for me.

Friends, the lack of sunshine and the BD ( not necessarily in that order) must be frazzling my brain..... there is a March thread in existence already.... sorry!Even though some of my photos are from the glasshouse... I will merge the threads now. :-X

Maggi, it seems everything in your garden is bursting ino flower so fast.
Here the most plants just start to show some buds.
Well, today I saw my pink Abeliophyllum is almost open and really full
branches with flowers, but I'm afraid they will not last long, because
some very cold nights are forecasted this week.
There are some Crocus fields flowering here now and some field with Narcissus
Tete a Tete are becoming yellow, but that's it.
