Lockdown Gallery 21- week 8

Posted on by

April 19th to April 25th

Well, we hoped it wouldn’t be needed, but spring ’21 is here 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: Continuing dry, but a little less cold, with fewer night frosts

Maggie Youdan says she is rather fond of tulips – it’s easy to see why…

Tulipa ‘Brown Sugar’
Arabis ferdinandi-coburgi ‘Old Gold’
Chaenomeles speciosa ‘Yukigoten’
Ficaria verna ‘Brazen Hussy’
Magnolia stellata before the frost got it
Narcissus ‘Segovia’ at different stages of flowering
Tulipa ‘Persian Pearl’ in the gravel at York Gate
Tulipa ‘Purissima’
Two black metal birds perched on my shed from a company called METALBOX

Denise Dyson offers a nice selection of spring flowers, though she had to battle a very insistent (and very wrong) spellchecker to send the names to match

Primula glomerata
Primula ‘Belarina’ – a cutting from Corine
Collection of auricula
Clematis alpina scrambling up variegated Euonymous on the opposite boundary from my machete-wielding neighbour
A clump of primroses

More from Maggie Sugden – her garden is nothing if not prolific!

Erythronium ‘Pagoda’
Leucojum
Narcissus ‘Pipit’
Primula ‘Garryade Guinevere’

Amanda Fincham has a handsome purple iris for you to name

Always the first dwarf iris to flower, can anyone name it?
Akebia quinata
Dark leaved honesty
Erythronium
Self-seeded Wallflower – smells wonderful!
