I don't want anyone to miss Terry's monthly garden reports from his No. Yorkshire English Garden, so will continue to post them on his own thread here, from now on. Click this link, cause
Feb 2001 is up for a feast.
So good to see your beautiful Narcissus cyclamineus. My first one opened in the fairy garden, Mar 1 – so the timing is close. Oh that snow scene! Your crocus make me drool. I love the new homepage pics and your Mag sou looks like it might be one of the hybrids, perhaps niger or rubra?

Terry, I would love for you to share that 'stream of snowdrops' with us on this page if ya like oxoxox
I have so enjoyed it as my Feb wall paper.... On the montor screen Gail,,, not the window screen ;-)

I had to go look Maggie, forgot Susan the Magnolia was on there. Yes she is one of the group of hybrids that were all given girl's names. Not many years that she escapes the frost, same goes for my Camellias. Strange how the plants can be so hardy but the flowers not. The stream of snowdrops is not photogenic for some reason, but I'll post a pic anyway, just so you know I'm telling the truth.

The stream really doesn't show up at this size so you'll have to settle for a puddle.

It's a lovely pix even with puddle.

Maggie, I told you I on was on drugs so don't be giving me such a hard time! I'm done with the prescription and my head is clear (as it ever was...which probably wasn't much!). I find that as spring approaches, my brain mushes up with plans and dream flower beds and most everything else is relegated to the back of my brain.

okay, maybe I'm still there....

I was on drugs

Too bad the speller doesn't catch flubs!

What spell cheeker?

Have been enjoying your March pages Terry. Your pics are, as always are so vivid. Oh those colors. Oh those primroses!!

Did I feel smug to see I was right about our Hellebores blooming at the same time
Origin of Figero's name is sooo Terry :-O

Loved seeing more of your Alpines. Such dear things. Your Saxifrages remind me that I bought a couple of S. sarmentosas last week, and that they are sill waiting to be planted. I am determined to get them going *this* time! I know that when they take, they go like strawberries. Maybe this time, fingers x'd.

Enjoyed your bird pages too, this month. The Gouldian's color is sensational. I don't know how you manage to keep the garden and raise birds, and keep terrific sites on both of them as well.

I may be in trouble for doing this. If so, we can risk an attempt at me editing it out. (and hope I don't delete the entire board at the time ;-)
Heeeeeeere's Terry....

Good grief Maggie, where on earth did you get that from? Are you trying to scare all your visitors away....lol
Oh. I know which one it is now.
Thank goodness it wasn't the Rheum....lol

Thanks for the pix of T! It's nice to put a face with name. Of course, that is NOT permission to do it for everyone! Headed to your pages to enjoy, Terry, and I'm sure I WILL!

Gail what makes you think Maggie needs permission?

Shoot first ask questions later...lol

I had an uncle that used to say "I'm cap'n of this bl**dy ship" when his wife and kids would give him a hard time. ;-)

Hey Gail, remember when you came for dinner and a swim last summer? and the the camera was outside?

Okay Gail, you are off the hook,,,it was more fun to tease ya, than actually do the dasterly deed ;-)

Terry's April garden is up - on his site HERE. Once again, I'm going to share my monthly gushings.

Oh so wonderful to see your spring treasures Terry. There are many I know from so long ago but haven't seen since, as they would never make it through our summers.
Interesting that your Caltha palustris 'Flore Pleno' bloom looks exactly like Ranunculus acris'Flore Pleno', yet the Cal's leaves resemble hardy violas.

Oh those Corydalis. I drool at the 'Blue Panda' ones when I'm over there. Their clear true blue looks like it is lit from the inside. Does your pale pink one seem like that too?

Amabel 2's face reminds me of the Phantom of the opera's mask. Maybe that is what makes her look so sad ;-) I wish Moggy could take floppy lessons from her. The only time we get a good cuddle is when she is half or fast asleep. Your explaination as to why Amabel is NOT known as #2 - LOL,, Larry & me both.

How wonderful to see your Erysimum has lived so long. I adore them, but have never been able to keep them over 18 months age. I used to root up pieces from them in the fall, as potted ones are not easily found in nurseries around here. But I gave up trying to keep them going after a few years. Your pic reminds me why it was worth doing. So wonderfully evergreen here and they often bloomed in extra mild winters.

We have the comma butterfly too!! - it is my favorite in the garden!
NOW you have some great wild bird shots!! I've been recording a new nestling in our garden this spring too. Hope I can find the pics of it on that other scary putor soon.

That was the first time we have seen your distant view across the pond bridge. Fabulous! I knew you backed open land and have always wondered about its aspect from your house view. So wonderful how the open land becomes part of your garden. Talk about some awesome Shakkei !

Thank you Terry, for once again bringing your garden to all of us out here.

You can tell how my garden drops away at the bottom now, Maggie. I have a six foot high fence there, and you look straight over it.
