I think I can cautiously say that the back of winter has been broken. We're getting more and more sunny days, and quite a few days of 19 or 20 degrees. Here are a few photos of the garden's celebration of spring.
The hellebore bed has been going great guns all winter but I decided it was worth sharing again.

The geum are starting their spring flush too. I'm liking this bed - geum and daffs for the spring, lavender and gaura for the summer.

Speaking of daffs - the first of my fancy daffs opened last weekend! Sadly, something got to the petals before it opened and nibbled one of them off. But I absolutely adore them, I hope they like this spot so they thrive and multiply.

This isn't quite as pretty, it's more a monstrous triffid. This is my colocasia I transplanted to the corner of the western garden. It's now probably 5 or more years old, and look at how massive it's become! That trunk is as big around as a human leg.

It's also putting out heaps of babies. We'll see how long it can stay in there before it's just too big!
