Re: How does your garden grow?
I thought I would post again photos of this Rhododendron in our garden trying to illustrate the progression from bud to full flowering bloom. We are fascinated by it as this was purchased from Llidl about five years ago without really knowing what it would be like other than it was a Rhododendron.

That looks like it could be used as a sight screen at a cricket ground.

Re: How does your garden grow?
FC,your Lily of the Valley put ours to shame,I looked again today and we have one little shoot poking out of the ground,the other half is not amused as she thinks I have dug them out and honestly I haven't touched them.

I have heard the name 'Lily of the Valley' but I would not have been able to picture one so thanks Funkychick and Suffolkboy for educating me. Have just read they are very poisonous...so no putting them in your saladsSuffolkboy wrote:FC,your Lily of the Valley put ours to shame...
