These people were not in the garden, but they came for breakfast on Saturday to help consume the asparagus mountain...

Our garden is looking wonderful at the moment. I have to give credit where it's due - it is all down to Shona who is the most amazing gardener.
And spring has certainly arrived - the roses are budding, the rhodos are blooming and the cabbage tree is flowering too.
 |
| The roses have a lovely perfume, the rhodo is lovely and I have no idea what the other bract of flowers is ... |

Cinerarias - self sown and thoroughly reliable

A climbing rose, a camellia, the rhodo and the cabbage tree. Comparing the motorhome and the cabbage tree it is clear just how damn tall it is!

 |
The snowball tree with stocks and a beautifully perfumed mauve rose behind it and a white carpet rose beside.
|
 |
That bud will turn mauve shortly.
|
 |
Who knows what this is?

The yellow climbing rose

The lemon tree looks very healthy. It has grown a lot since Rob planted it a few years ago.
|
 |
We planted this rhodo to replace a beautiful creamy-apricot coloured one we had to cut down to be able to fit the motorhome beside the garage. It smells lovely too. I am still looking for an apricot coloured one though ...

The stocks have gone crazy ...

Is that your David in the blue shirt?
Agree your garden is looking beautiful, could the 'mystery' flower be Crocosmia or Gladioli, maybe?

Hi Ann,
No that's our friend Bruce in the blue shirt. David took the photo so doesn't appear.
The flower is too small for gladioli, but I've noit heard of crocosmia. I will have to ask Shona what it is. I love the colour of it!

The garden is looking gorgeous! What asparagus dish did you feed them for breakfast? I've recently made ham, cheese and asparagus pasties.
Jenny,
Thank you - the garden does look great and it's all thanks to Shona.
I pretty much just blanched the asparagus (it was still crisp to the bite) and served it with lemon juice and butter. It goes beautifully with scrambled egg!
Cheers, Mxx
