My first strawbelly flower

Nemisia

Bought this yesterday, had one last year and it flowered forever

Nennymoans

French Lavender


This French Lavender is less hardy than traditional lavender so has to be in a pot to bring in to overwinter unless in a very sheltered spot.  I just love the petals which are supposed to look like butterflies, hence the variety being called 'Papillon' but I think they look more like rabbit ears..We've got it by the gravelled pond area and it should attract plenty of bees.  It just needs to be photographed....

Tulips

The tulips have been out for a few weeks now and some are just coming to the end while some are still to flower.  These is the border with most of them in and a close up of each of my favourites two varieties...
