Plant of the Month

Last week, before the severe gales, I was inspecting the garden, brew in hand, trying to decide what were the early spring highlights.
Hebe 
Narcissus
Primrose



The hebe midnight sun is a plant for all seasons and I cannot recommend this easy to grow little beauty too highly. Of course, daffodils and narcissii are always a breath of dazzling colour and the primroses, a new addition to several spots in the garden, have also been a cheerful sight.

However, I must confess to having a particular fondness for irises and this year there have been some nice reticulata including a new one for me, with a lovely, pale blue flower. They are part of the bulb lasagnas on the patio so that even on the days when venturing outside seems less than appealing they are visible from the kitchen window.
