Everything is springing up now, lots of greenery particularly geraniums & Japanese anemones which will take over if I don't pull some out/chop some back. First roses coming out now as well. Patio Flirt rose. Penelope rose with Princes Irene tulips behind First aquilegia with sprouting broccoli leaning over to get in the shot. Bluebells popping out here & there Camassias & bluebells in the front garden Geranium phaeum - very like yours grindle! Honesty grown from seed last autumn Mahonia 'grapes' Various candelabra & other primulas coming out as well, many self-sown. & more self-seeded osteos & Welsh poppies near the shed.

Lovely show from you both and your gardens are so much further on than mine. Anemone nemorosa viridiflora the apple tree strutting it's stuff Primula auricula 'Blue Velvet' Saruma henryii A few sahdy ladies Lamprocampnos spectabilis alba, Aconitum lycoctonum an un-named Tiarella or it could be a heucherella to name 3 plants in this area. Battery went flat so need to charge it for more May picks. Most of the photos of plants in Eli's garden are still in tight bud in mine.

Your garden is very spring-like seaburn, we've had a warm spring here this year and it has brought many flowers out earlier than some other years.

I had so much trouble with vine weevil and root aphids that I planted all the ones I had out in the garden. They have mostly thrived.
