Morning with me on #mycommute is Magnolia ‘Big Dude’ (with a “little dude” visiting the flower, not entirely sure who/what he is?) when you see the seed pods of this one you will see how he got his name….🤔😳😂 @RCM_Group @CwllGardenSoc #magnolia #spring #flowers #big #insect

Morning, with me on #mycommute is an annual disappointment! Camellia ‘Fragrant Pink’ does just one part of its name…it’s definitely pink! As for fragrant…Not that I can smell (could just be me but I’m not known for being wrong on anything!🤔😱😎😂😂) @RCM_Group @CwllGardenSoc

Not our strongest point but we are slowly building up our snowdrop numbers. From only two small clump to several “swathes” throughout the woodland garden now. Remember plant/divide when still “in the green”. @CwllGardenSoc #snowdrop #galanthus #snowdropseason #wintergarden

Morning with me on #mycommute is the little fluffyness of Acacia baileyana ‘Purpurea’ in our silent space. A “tender” small tree which is benefiting from the south facing red brick wall. @silentspaace @CwllGardenSoc #walledgarden
