Spring Time, Golden Medal Time?

A Picture is worth a Thousand Words
The saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” is only part true. I cannot give you the pleasure of smelling the perfumes which so many of the Rhododendrons (especially the whites) gladden my senses by my amateurish snaps.

Gardening around the World
The gardens look sad and wet with hundreds of soggy, dingy brown hydrangea heads begging me to take up my secateurs, find the lowest two buds and relieve them of their disgraceful appearance.

Rhododendrons and Garden Visits
It was good to look at the garden with a critical eye but I promised Kees I would not grumble that the Trilliums were finished or the favourite Rhododendron was past its best or that open day should have been last week or next week or next month.

Winter leaves us dramatically
Spring is rushing in with the impetus of the fool hardy, it is still officially Winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Try telling that to the Camellias and the early Rhododendrons.

The New World Gardener
