    I like the Barberry, nepeta and primrose combo - great colours and textures together. I used to have Russian Sage but it died out. I must buy a few new ones this year - I forgot how beautiful it looks and smells. Excellent photos - thx!

    Haven't you got snowdrops as we do? They can grow everywhere, you know. I will also recommend eranthis one of the first flowers to come. Even when you have snow, they are sticking there little yellow heads up! So nice and so strong! Thank you for sharing nice pictures - I love your bench!

    In meinem Garten ist es jetzt sehr kalt. Minus 10 Grad und kälter. Ich sehne mich sehr nach dem Frühling, Sonne, Wärme und viele bunte Blumen.
    Die schönen Bilder zeigen die gleichen Sorten, die auch hier im Sommer wachsen. Aber eine so wunderschöne Seenlandschaft haben wir nicht.

    I'd love to life near such a beautiful sea. And I'd built a greenhouse for the tomatoes :-) Looks as if there'd be enough space for a big one.

    Yes, we could all use a dose of spring right now! These are beautiful shots, but I couldn't take my eye off the photo of the Russian Sage. Just gorgeous!

    Beautiful setting! Do you find it a challenge to design plantings next to such a spectacular view?

    I need some phlox, that's definitely on my must acquire list for my new yard/garden.

    Such a gorgeous collection of shots. I especially loved the Hemerocallis, but the patch of Barbery, Nepeta and native Primrose is just beautiful. Roll on springtime.
