Some settled weather has settled in for Easter after a cold spell. I’m excited to have had enough choice this week to go for my first colour theme of the year. Here’s a pink one. Happy Easter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most exciting blooms in the garden this week is the first camellia of the year. This one is from a huge old shrub that sits mostly in the shape. It takes a while to bloom, the flowers last for a while once here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suspect this will be the very last outing for the hellebore. They have had a magnificent year, I’m going to miss them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve even managed pink (or admittedly, more like purple) as some early veg. These pak choi might go into the garden, although pigeons appear to have a taste for them this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There have to be tulips for Easter. I don’t often choose pink, seems I did this year. These make a lovely display on the front door step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still going strong, magnolia stellata provide a bright, slightly spikey spring interest. The shrub grows so slowly, but year by year we get a few more flowers every spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Last, but very much not least, my first rhododendron of the year has just opened. Not a native species, but they lover eastern Scotland, and we love them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the bank holiday if you are lucky enough to have one. That’s my #SixonSaturday for this week. Stay safe, and don’t forget to follow the crowd on twitter and via the web from links to the originator of #SixonSaturday, the\u00a0Propagator<\/a> himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
