IT IS DEFINITELY SPRING NOW.

We had to wait rather long for Spring this year, the weather went up and down like a yoyo. It was wet and cold with a better day once in a while.

As I am not mobile at the moment I can only take pictures from the patio at the moment.

This was my june berry (amelanchier) last week, just the buds were out.

This is the same june berry ( amelanchier) today

Dwarf rhododendron Moerheim

Pieris Japonica

Skimmia japinica Kew green.

For people who have only a tiny garden or balcony, a skimmia is the ideal small bush, the flowers appear in Autumn and it starts flowering early in the year and it attracks lots of bee’s, it is wintergreen and winterhardy up to -10 C°. There are several different colours of flowers. But you need a male and a female plant to get flowers.

Take care and enjoy your Spring !

    1. I hope so too but I got a new knee and it takes between 3 and 6 months to start with and a few years to get used to it. My garden has several steps and they are still too dangerous for me. I also can walk for a few minutes at the time so I can’t go to parks and arboretums….But I am working on it !!

        1. The operation was 7 weeks ago and it is still painful but that is normal said the specialist. Before the op it was even worse, so it’s been almost half a year since it all started, at first I thought it would all go away, but no it didn’t. Most of my mobility problems are the result of a horseriding accident I had 34 years ago.
