It's All Happening


I know of few better antidotes to humdrumness than getting outside, getting a lung full of fresh air and finding an early crocus, poking itself out of the ground.

Witch Hazel, Hamamelis, elegant, but scantily clad for the catwalk.


Christmas Box, Sarcococca, fragrant blooms in winter, shiny berries in early Spring. A useful addition to every garden.


Christmas Rose, Hellebore. Such delicate beauty defies description.


Acacia Pravissima.

This Acacia is intensely yellow, robust in its weeping habit and incredibly, unbelievably and almost obscenely, fragrant. Wish we could do smelly blogs.

Happy Springing.
