Rain as stayed off so far a few photoes from this morning the Nomocharis as started to unfold a lot more buds than last year hedgehog was one I took last year very early morning around 3.15 am they are coming every night at the moment but too dark to get a good photoe I couldn’t sleep and got up to make a cup of tea looked out of the window camera was close by and got a good shot to say it was through a window.
Zenj Your camera takes good quality photos. The hedgehog is lovely. Don't think I can see mine in broad daylight. Love the irises. Must try to see if I can grow them here. I might have to keep watering them. The blue one is soooo pretty. I also have a petunia pirouette, but they seem to be a bit slow. Only one flower. Alstroemeria yellow ones are in flower. But it's now grey, cold and a bit wet.
No more rain and a viewing will be on 5pm. So fed up with it. Friend told me a couple bought a detached bungalow with tons of junk ( accumulated all through the parents' years' of living there) for £385,000! Difficult to say as bungalows are always pricy. But there seemed to be no garden, but paved areas around the whole house but a very tall greenhouse which was strongly recommended to me. I think my love for gardening is killing me. Who in her right mind would acquire a 2 greenhouses whilst the house is on the market?

Well, no show again for viewing. Well, at least, it has RAINED a bit more, which has made me very happy.
In the last four days, we have had one instead of 2 eggs in the morning. Son discovered that Goldie has been feasting on an egg a day. Funny thing is that Goldie is now crowing like a hen. Well, tomorrow morning, I'm going to cage him after I have collected my 2 eggs. No way is he going to beat me!
Rose day! Claire Marshall. Struggling with Son

Woke up 2.30. Dreading how to move houses in 4 to 6 weeks! Can't hire a storage unit for my plants. The couple said I could come back within 3 months to get the plants. Perhaps, I don't have to worry as it might yet again fall through!
This is Lilac Scented and I hand--pollinated these flowers and now there are about 4 seed pods. I'm worried that the house move can kill my seed pods. So many plants to take care of and the gardens in properties I have been looking at are that big.
Sooo impressed with Paul Scarlett as one plant and yet there are so many flowers. Most prolific! You can see, the bamboos are going crazy!
My favorite cistus!
Might go to bed again. My laptop is givng me grief - old age probably. Bought in 2012 and now the screen will suddenly go black. I had to press F9 to reload set up default to get it going. Just now, it keeps giving me monsterly monkey ... in 3 tabs.. There must be a man behind my laptop or it is now a bot!

Watched Fatal Familial Insomnia on Something's killing me and was horrified to see there is such a terrible genetic grip on certain people. The prion can turn certain part of the brain into sponge and the inflicted will stumble like those suffering from mad cow disease and people will die from the disease which manifests itself in form of insomnia. No wonder people use alcohol or weed to ease the pain of insomnia. Not a method I would agree with, but I really feel sorry for the sufferers.
Going to remove the rhubarbs from the allotment as I will need every inch of it. Glad that it rained and now it's so chilly. Ah, moaning is my prerogative. LOL!

Morning all another Nomocharis out today
Wow! Work of the week!
I was looking at properties and saw the alert. What a nice way to break the monotony and measurements! Well done!
I am toying with the idea of buying hepatica! Perhaps not. Too small to fuss about. I will try to buy this, but when I googled, I always missed the stock. Lovely! Can't say enough! Took some photos of my Dark Knight delphinium and it snapped before I could take a photo - should have taken it yesterday.

Very nice DrCase my bigger lilies have buds but aren’t usually out until July Nomocharis are around a month earlier here in the NE have had loads of Lilly Beatles this year having to look over all my lilies every day.
My jaw dropped when I saw your lily, Zenj! I only have buds and even they are on the young and small side. That pink is so beautiful. This reminds me of a man exhibiting Himalayan Pink lilies in one of the Flower shows. I have had quite a few brutal crushing of lily beetles and some of the lilies are in awkward place. I am impressed at how perfect @DrCase 's lilies are. My tree lilies are very short - hardly 5 feet and on the small size, probably I have planted them in the shade.
What family is the Nomocharis please? I have the feeling that it requires the same conditions as the meconopsis. In that case, I can only salivate. This year, I actually saw some Trollius Chinensis buds. Last year was a disaster!
Gold crest foxgloves - such a lovely apricoty colour
The markings of this one are simply fantastic!
Australian Bottlebrush!
Campanula paniculata
Salvia Night Moth
Delphinium Dark Knight or Black Knight!
The best orchid show I have had in my house!
