Hallooo . . . ? ? ? Let me guess, everyone's got a huge case of Spring Fever and is out playing in the garden? It's beautiful here in the mornings and evenings, but already I'm having to do short shifts in the shade if I want to work outside in the afternoons. Phew! A wonderful bonus, though, we have had rain for two evenings in a row which is really unexpected for this time of year. The jungle is advancing already!

Deb, hope you are feeling better, and that spring is still there - here's one of your 'babies' Stardancer x pod 2 with 3 buds! This is really early for a new-ish plant to be blooming, wouldn't you say? Any idea what color I should expect? They'll probably be in full bloom next week while we are away, and the house-sitter is a guy so he won't even look at them. Just hope they last until I get home!

I also have 6 flower stalks coming along on my agapanthus, about a month earlier than usual! Got a start yesterday for a variegated agapanthus called 'Silver Moon' - can't wait to see its foliage although it most likely won't bloom until next spring. Anybody growing this?
