Our mad garden...

lilac and cherry blossom

As we all know in this country the weather's been haywire so far this year, just as we thought Spring had at last arrived and the sun eventually shone, we now seem to be having March winds, April showers and May sunshine all at the same time. So while in Devon my mother has already seen daffodils, hyacinths, violets, tulips, magnolias, rhododendrons and azaleas flower, our garden has waited patiently then suddenly gone mad and decided it's all or nothing, everything seems to be coming out at the same time.    

Very few irises seemed to flower last year, but it looks like this might be a better year...
