Spiflicated! And it was looking soooo lovely. This is Euphorbia Martinii and one of our favourites, its grows quite quickly and puts out a fabulous, long lasting, display of chartreuse green flowers with bright red centres. Now it's been squished flat by this horrible cold wind we're getting here in Stafford at the moment - are you suffering from it too?
I'm dreading doing the nightly tour just now as this wind is wreaking havoc on all the plants which are top heavy with new growth - I'm hoping my lovely alliums, just on the brink of bursting forth like lovely lavender fireworks, can take the strain.
On a brighter note though, my May favourites, the Aquilegias, are looking lovely. Here are some fab pics Moonshine Minor took a couple of evenings ago.
More from the grounds at Moonshine Manor anon, must go and Blog @ Maisie Moonshine's - ah me - my virtual life is soooo hectic.
Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come.

We are having a lot of strong winds here too. Damage not as noticeable though as our aquilegias haven't yet come into flower and we seem to be suffering more from pigeon damage-- they are just on the trample. We've just been doing a stack of re-potting and feeding with well-known fertilisers. We pot up lots of small plants and donate them to school fairs etc. Just concerned about the hanging baskets as to whether they will survive- (green) fingers crossed.
