Virtual Friday Forum; First Meeting of 2021

 


The theme of this meeting was to be what can be seen in your garden ……. best laid plans.

We did have quite a few members telling us what has been doing well at the moment and delighting them at this bleak time.  We also heard how the snow had damaged various trees and shrubs, sometimes quite badly.

This Camellia has been out since early December.  Does anyone know its name?

Linda:
Variegated Vinca, Bowles Mauve, a descendant of the original plant given to me by Margaret H, Winter Jasmine land Viburnum tinus.


Norma:

Norma sent this lovely photo of her flower arrangement suggested by a flower arranger to the Queen.

You need a pretty tray, I used a jam jar, a vinegar bottle, two wine glasses and two pieces from a dressing table set. Spring flowers are lovely. I used Tulips, Freesia, Forsythia twigs and Garrya elliptical.

Her blog and the rest of the website also looks interesting.

Looking forward to the gardening year ahead ....
