Just a few spring-inspired photos from last year to remind you that it really is just around the corner! These images are from the amazing gardens of Duff and Donna - I wish I could claim these plantings as my own! :)Have a great weekend!

Witch Hazel! Every year I think "I'll have to squeeze in a plant for next year's display" and every year I don't get around to doing it!
ReplyDeleteYup..same here..every year I say why don't I have a Witch Hazel... must get round to getting one.
ReplyDeleteDonna Duff's garden is amazing and no wonder it was in a magazine!! Gardens East... Can't wait to visit in the spring when the primula are at their best.
I'm also on the witch hazel bandwagon!! With a big ornamental garden expansion slated for this spring, I really want a few of these super early bloomers.. plus some rhodos, orn grasses, conifers.. this list could go on for a while! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Niki for reminding me of our gardens in spring, needed that. And yes, everyone, you must get a Witch Hazel.They are in bloom today Jalena is the earliest for us . It is a wonderful coppery colour. Arnolds Promise, in Niki's photo is the hardiest.
ReplyDeleteThe chickadees are checking out the birdhouses so I know spring is on its way!! Soon time to put the knitting needles away and get out the gardening gloves.

Niki, What is the white flower,, looks like alyssum?
ReplyDeleteJane
The white flower is arabis. Stays evergreen, has a lovely scent and benefits from a good hair cut after blooming.I love it because it allows bulbs to pop up through it. Jane,if you want piece have Niki bring you round in the spring.

Thanks for answering Jane Donna! :) When I saw this planting in your garden, it just took my breath away - such a gorgeous combo! I recall seeing snakeshead fritillaria in a UK children's book I used to read when I was young and I thought they were 'made up' flowers.. still can't believe they're real! So pretty!
