Garden in April 2010

Victoria Plum Tree


Spring is really here and the plum is in bloom. What a fantastic display it is giving this year with, I hope, the promise of a plentiful supply of fruit. That is if the birds dont eat all the blossoms, I have noticed quite a few birds attacking the flowers. I dont mind really, there should be plenty for all.


Camelias

The Camelias are doing so much better this year since I uprooted them and planted them in pots with ericacious compost.







Aeonium
This Aeonium is from a cutting brought back from the Scilly Isles a few years ago and gives a wonderful display, turning really black in the summer. This is the first time it has flowered and I think once it flowers it dies, but I am hoping it is just that branch that will die. We shall see.
