Well, we hoped it wouldn’t be needed, but spring ’21 is on the way and lockdown is still a part of our lives!
Over the coming weeks,I hope you will enjoy sharing your garden pictures with fellow WYHPS members (and anyone else who wants to see them) until the day comes when we can visit each other’s gardens again.
Weather: High pressure returns for a cool, quiet week

My basket – I really enjoy looking for plants to put in – a good excuse for looking round outlets
I wish I could remember the name of this crocus as I find it rather attractive
Self-seeded Corydalis cheilanthifolia
A super specimen of Helleborus ‘Anna’s Red’ – well worth what I paid for it! Also Pittosporum ‘Tom Thumb’ and Skimmia ‘Kew Green’
A self-seeded hellebore – unfortunately it’s wedged itself amongst a bergenia and a paving stone so it will have to stay there, which is a shame because it is rather pretty
Amanda Fincham needs some naming ideas for her delightful Daphnes
First of two wonderfully scented Daphne seedlings from my mother’s garden. Any name suggestions ?
The second Daphne
Three Iris reticulata – top left ‘Gordon’, right ‘Injad Sherwood’ and bottom one, which has lost its label!
A tiny cyclamen grown from wild, using collected seed from an Alpine Garden Society

Maggie Sugden has found a few flowers for us, but says ‘Everyone’s waiting for some sun!
Daphne ‘Perfume Princess’. It’s a new shrub, so I’m surprised it’s flowering!
Crocuses ‘Snow Bunting’, Blue Pearl’ and ‘Cream Beauty’ – The same number of each went in!!
