What a beautiful spring display.
Are these all wildflowers?

Ian, the  rhododendrons are looking great. They are a fabulous family, great floral display and pleasant evergreen foliage, excellent garden plants. The only rhododendron which has flowered here in my garden is 'Christmas Cheer'; the others are lagging behind. Camellias are open though.

Oron, what a wonderful sight, so perfectly beautiful and how wonderful to have such display of native plants to visit. The adonis is outstanding.

Ian - Love those huge stigmas on macabeanum and calophytum.

Good pink calophytum there.

Keep them coming.

I have been green of envy by looking at all these lovely flowers. We are much behind here in Denmark, but at last spring has come.

Wim and Poul,

That was a lovely display of flowers to view on this Sunday morning. Lovely plants.

Poul, I particularly like the eranthis pinnatifida, one I don't grow but must look out for. Very nice indeed.

Blue eranthis - good heavens, what wonders!  (Wow, I would have guessed hepatica!)
Lovely plants all - I'm deeply envious (especially as we are now back in winter again with about 20 cm of snow overnight.)
