The Gardens of Delargo Towers - April

Here we are again my lovelies. Spring has sprung and every thing is bursting into growth here at ' Delargo Towers '

Here are is long awaited Narcissus Thalia -

and Tulip Ronaldo - both are in pots, and sadly have done less and less well each year. This will be their last I fear.

the Fritillaria meleagris or Snakeshead Fritillary is a real treat.

and new this year, Anemone De Caen

wow

So bright and strong; pure joy on a dull day.

Well there you have the stars of the month. Now lets see how the rest of the cast are getting on

Our window boxes are planted

Wallflowers are in bloom - if a little disappointing

and excitingly the sole surviving Hollyhock seems to be throwing up a flower shoot.

self sown Virginia Stock are still flowering their little hearts out.

Out the back the pear is looking fab and full of blossom.

and everything else is getting on with the business of growing

The Fuchsias that were in pots last year have been planted in the border, and cuttings from them are in the pots.

the first of the Aquilegias is looking fab. We will probably have to wait till next month for the rest.

To close here is another newbie bought in at the great expense of £1.25, Diascia. As you may know we are mainly pinks and blues with a little yellow thrown in, so orange is quite an adventure.

And a great cause for celebration here at 'Delargo Towers' is our Cymbidium, in flower for the very first time in after 18 years

roll on May

P.S.
The weed Sycamore tree we cut down and dug up when we moved in has produced mushrooms. How fab is that !
We will not be eating them though !
