Okay I understood the NPK thing, its the name which had me confused here. I don't think I have ever seen it in our stores.

I do need to find a good fertilizer low in nitrogen. My Campsis radicans (Trumpet Vine) doesn't need the nitogen and it will take any available nitrogen and grows like a weed. It just hasn't bloomed too very well the past couple of summers. I guess that is one area I need to look into for a properly blooming vine. Only thing is.......................it is growing all over the place now. When it isn't happy with its site it doesn't do much but put it where it is happy and it takes over. I've been pulling it out of my peonies, my weigela, hollyhocks and everything else. I don't want to kill it I just want it to behave and stay on its own side of the yard...

Dear Cherie, Campsis can fix nitrogen in the soil on its own. Magnolias cannot do that so need some help, but not too much, otherwise you will get loads of green and no flowers!Each plant and soil is different, and they say gardeners are thick.
Hugs a worn out.

Dear all, just some pictures of things I found on one of walks!
Regards.
Neil.
A stunning Acer palmatum coming into leaf, Grape Hyacinths on the hill.

A purple Magnolia behind bars! You have seen London, now the other way is the north Downs of Kent.

The colour of that wallflower is amazing against the primrose. Taking pictures of Hyacinths is not easy as the scent of so many, bowls you over!

Our quaint little florist, most of the stuff is outside due to the weather! Jamie look on the right hand side of the florist picture I wonder what the twigs are?
Finally yet more blossom!

Great memories of Abloom, made so many things for us over the years we lived, 3 minutes walk away, give our regards to them when you see them next time, When I have spray's of flowers up for your mum, I go direct to Abloom, she is most helpfull.

Pretty pics, Neil... what is the white flower, located in the First row, right side??--- they have such long petals! ... would like that Coral Bark Maple--- bee-utiful! .... I'd like to buy a couple of those colorful pots while there, also one of those bright lizards for the garden wall--- It looks like ceramic...? We have a nursery here that sells Talavera Pottery, which has similar bright colors--- kinda expensive, so I wanna get something there when they have a Sale! (that's my Middle Name!)

Dear Connie, it is Magnolia stellata or the star shaped Magnolia!
Regards.
Neil.

Thanks for the info, Neil--- have a good weekend!

Dear Connie, and the same to you!
I have not gone yet as I have been out today!

Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood'.


Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood' and behind it an Acer davidii Rosalie' or snakebark maole.

Dear all, I have been missing a bit as my parents needed some help with matters arising. luckily they are sorted out now one hopes!
It was searingly hot here today, far too much for me and way above the average for this time of year.
On our News it was showing the terrible fires in Texas and the Tornado's in other places in the US, weird weather, I must say.
Then it showed one of the Universities in Oxford where they have daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, bluebells, a huge Wisteria in flower and Roses out all at the same time. How strange is that?
It is H.M. Queens Birthday today so we had to have a toast for Her Majesty, she is 85 today.
Then on Saturday it is St. Georges Day which is the National Day of England.
A Happy Easter To One And All.
I spotted this beautiful Ceanothus or Californian lilac in the pub Garden today.
Regards.
Neil.

Dear Doris, just like you my dear a pure white English Rose!
This was taken today, Roses in April?

Neil.

Taken today!
Regards.
Neil.

These Aquilegias can be a pest as they cross and you get all sorts of colours! Then they seed themselves everywhere, which is another pain in the rear.
You cannot give the things away as everyone has the same problem with them!
Regards.
Neil.

Dear Cherie, loves lies bleeding in flower and then a white Broom!
Regards.
Neil.

Love the white Broom

Wow my European Palm Chamaerops humilis has even joined in the partying mood!
Regards.
Neil.
