What's looking good in March 2017

[DeborahJane]

Love your vase of flowers @DeborahJane. I'm hopeless at flower arranging, when I arrange them in a vase it looks like I've just plonked them in no matter how I try. I guess like yourself some people just have the knack of coming up with a pretty display.

Thanks Sheal. I have a friend who really does a wonderful job at flower arranging and i try to copy what she does...asymmetrical seems to be important...still don't have her natural ability . Would you believe that "vase" was a toilet brush holder and has a smaller round neck so holds the plants in place.

Oh, nice to see Owcho again @zigs. I remember him from his bloomin' days. Is he back home again?

Here are a couple of blues and purples:
Training Lantana, wonderfully fragrant

Salvia farinacea Victoria Blue. Very first bloom (well he is working on it). Four plants from seed that will clump and provide company for the Orange Jasmine (Muraya p) and also the Ixora on the other side.

The Brazilian Verbena is also blooming in a color identical to the Lantana, but the photo is not too good. The Plumbago would be blooming blue if i hadn't pruned it

Here I have hellebores from double black to yellows, pinks, purples and reds in flower. Daffs covering the fields in Cornwall right now.
Beautiful sunshine right now....yippee!

Is it just me, or does it look like Owcho is giving a double bird salute?!

He's peed off that i've taken him away from his friends at the National Trust I'll have to get him a playmate.

@Daren, what is the pink and yellow flower in the "Old news" photo? It's very pretty.

"What's looking good..." Well half of my backyard is now free of snow. But this is Alberta, more snow will come before long.
