Better late than never

These are photographs taken on the 3rd April. Very remiss of me to leave it so long to post ...

We've been after a really dark Hellebore for some while, since seeing one at East Ruston. It's the most glorious deep purple (i'm sure someone will have a better colour description).

Prunus Incisa Kojo No Mai is possibly my favourite flowering shrub as it lifts the gloom after winter. Fabulous.

One of the three Camillias we have, along with many early flowering shrubs in the garden, seems to be a good year.

Magnolia Stellata in all it's glory. The best year so far.

Mustn't forget the cats!
