    @Ada  
    Thank you that’s a great tip I never would have thought of that, I have struggled to get the skyscraper ones at the garden centre I can only seem to order them online. They are a beautiful flower my favourite was the big yellow flower heads they gave off a lovely scent. I will try and find some old photos of them.

    @ada I get packs of used coffee from star bucks, they do it in large packets for free for gardens, so if I'm ever in there I take a couple and sprinkle around the plants

    We've got five Camellias @Sandy_123,this is the only one that makes a mess.When the flowers fall off the others they stay in one piece but with this one they explode into a million pieces when they hit the deck.

    I always say it looks like the aftermath of a wedding.

    Thanks @Sandy_123 and that plant is a species of Cyclamen without a doubt.  Lovely plants. :)

    Ohhh I had it given to me one Xmas in a fancy pot about 6 years ago. By a neighbour whos passed. I put it in the garden, it comes early spring every year and then goes unless it's me, I can now Google to look after it, then it's comes back late summer 
    Just googled and that's what the plant supposed to do , early spring late summer.

    Aww, it's lovely you can keep their memory alive. :)  We have some that I discovered under a bush that I'd cut back last year. We had no idea they were there for two years!  They're just starting to come up now and have such beautiful leaves. <3

    They are nice plants. My rhubarb is sprouting up again, it refuses to die, we dug it out and everything, but no, it's back. 
    We have a jackdaw flying around the area too, people,e have been posting photos of it in their gardens, I've not seen it yet.

    Oh rhubarb is such a pain! We tried demolishing what we found when we moved here. 3 years later it's still sprouting up! We now have about ten jackdaws who visit, lovely, smart birds. :)

    I've had rhubarb for about 10 years and it's fed many neighbours and friends and work colleagues. But had enough of it now.  Same as the raspberry plant refuses to go

    Here's my little slice of paradise.  I've not been able to do anything to it yet this year, but hopefully it'll look lovely again soon.  I dug a small pond with a hand trowel which I was very proud of. :) The little tubs are home to my collection of carnivorous plants, who're just starting to come out of dormancy. :)

    And yes, I have an army of pigeons and a jackdaw friend called Creepy Dave, who visits daily with his mates. <3 



    ah we have a pair of wild pigeons come to our bird bath in the summer first time last year managed to hand feed one of there young uns when they came for a cool down

    Oh bless them! Magpies are also very intelligent, so you've made some good friends there. I'm slightly jealous! <3 

    I'm going to make a 'bird feeding hat' next month. Something silly and fun, I'll try and get photos when it's being used.  :D

    Oh that is breathtaking @Hilbil!  I have a very tiny ornamental cherry with about 4 branches, so I've had some blossoms this year.  They always make things seem more peaceful. <3
