The Acacia 3 days ago, I took this from the upstairs window, we are lacking sunshine. Shame about the backdrop! The neighbours are building an extension, no-one can afford to move to a bigger house now, they have 2 bedrooms and with kids they need to expand.

You can just see some purple crocus around the ege of the bed, and red primrose which I grew from Primula x beesiana, a candelabra copper tinged yellow. It must have crossed with a red Primula, the flowers are huge and start flowering very early. The Eucalyptus tree trunk end is still there too, and some gaps which are replanted or hacked back so next year it will be a little different.


Looking at pics from last year which was very late (this year is early!), there was only a few flowers on the Acacia but it was late March to early April flowering.
