A Year In The Secret Garden - April

Finally spring is upon us, and with it this month's Year In The Secret Garden photos.

Here's how our garden is looking at the moment:

Sun! Yellow forsythia! Sun!

My potted Spring Green tulips are about to flower, and there are already a few daffodils blooming. Usually at this time of year the garden is a sea of daffodils, but with the Dickensian winter we just suffered through most of them have evidently taken the decision to put up leaves, but not flowers:

All the clematis plants have survived, however, and are growing like crazy:

And best of all, clematis armandii is in full bloom - shown here trailing over the pergola alongside one of the Moroccan lanterns we brought home from our honeymoon in Marrakech:

This clematis is now three years old, and has started to flower tremendously - the pergola is practically groaning with blooms, and the scent on a warm day is quite overpowering:

Look, even Little Missy is enjoying the fragrance:

Catching Miss Penelope aka The Laziest Dog In The World sitting around in the sun not doing very much is actually very easy... but catching her running around doing something energetic?!? Now that would be a challenge :-)
