Something different: our tree fern fronds poised to unfurl their fractal beauty (sorry, really cheesy) smile

JANE, thanks I have made a note on my calendar for September.

Suppose you get them from specialist bulb sellers?

It's quite an ugly name for such an unusual flower - tulipa Cummins.

Yes, that look made me laugh. I have it on my desktop now, I put it on there straight away to annoy him! Two pieces of pizza and it was only 11am!

Lovely photos of all your flowers. Makes me feel nostalgic for the UK.

Had to chuckle at the photo of your 'fridge thief' janerowena ! If looks could kill...... ( I have a similar specimen) grin

Nonu Tue 29-Apr-14 13:00:37

JANE, exquisite, especially those tulips!
have you a name for them ?smile

janerowena Tue 29-Apr-14 12:08:10

Oh dear, gransnet isn't working again today. I shall just upload a couple of photos before I give in and start doing something useful, then.

I like bags's plant portraits.

I have several zillion photos and am always taking more, so I can bore you all to tears. I shall try to restrain myself.

The following photos were all taken just over a week ago.

I've just had the pleasure of looking at all your photos again on visiting DD's I pad. I'm very impressed both by the photos and the Ipad. Much better than looking at them 2 inches square on my netbook. I want one of my own now. grin

Cheers BAGS, no that is not my plant, mine is much larger!
Back to drawing board, I have a notion and only a notion it MAY be a Choisiya. <,wrings hands>

*janerowens, your photos are lovely , you have a good lookin" boy there .smile

I am so enjoying this thread, please keep 'em coming.

A fireplace in the garden! Love that idea Jane

Take it easy with the compost shovelling bags

thatbags Mon 28-Apr-14 08:49:14

All garden pics welcome, janer! I love seeing other people's garden pics. smile

I don't think it's a thread just for thatbag's photos, Janerowena. I took the title to be generic. Lots of other people have posted photos.

Your garden looks v. interesting - and the hellebores are delightful. smile

janerowena Sun 27-Apr-14 22:25:42

Sorry thatbags, I have just realised that it is a thread for your photos, rather than anyone's!

janerowena Sun 27-Apr-14 22:07:19

I agree re the shepherd's purse, there are so many beautiful small flowers that we just think of as weeds.

janerowena Sun 27-Apr-14 22:04:34

Some hellebores, an old fireplace mantel filling a gap, which will have pots of geraniums on it, and my son the Phantom Food-filching from Fridge Thief who photobombed my picture of my new metal garden furniture.

Morphine is masking whatever is there and I can live with that��. What I can't live with is not being busy in the garden and having to content my self with counting buds and checking on new growth!

I was admiring a beautiful tiny white flower yesterday during my garden inspection. Shepherd's Purse, now I can put a name to it thanks.

thatbags Sun 27-Apr-14 13:56:14

nonu, as ffinn says, the white one is Shepherd's Purse. It is TINY and most people regard it as a weed but when you look closely, it's a lovely wildflower smile. Across one flower measures between two and three millimetres.

Glad you enjoy, agus and ffinn.
Hope your back isn't too painful, agus.

ffinnochio Sun 27-Apr-14 13:20:03

Lovely Shepherd's Purse.

Agus Sun 27-Apr-14 13:14:03

You're photo's are a real joy bags. Love this time of year when the garden comes alive again.

Nonu Sun 27-Apr-14 12:24:29

Hey there Bags , lovely photos!

What is the white one? I ask because I have one in my garden , seems quite similar, don"t know the name , which I would like to. [like to try and identify the stuff I have ] as it was here when I came !

Has a very lovely fragrance !

smile

thatbags Sun 27-Apr-14 12:02:38

Bluebells just beginning to open in my garden today. Lots of tiny Shepherd's Purse as well.

dustyangel Thu 17-Apr-14 22:08:49

These are lovely bags, and such a beautiful sky. smile

Grannyknot Thu 17-Apr-14 21:05:41

Stunning against that blue sky, Bags. I love bark too.

thatbags Thu 17-Apr-14 17:59:10

Wild cherry
