Fester, what do I need to make essential oils out of a tree, or do I just dilute it?  :P

Eucalytus essential oil comes from the leaf ... via a slow and laborious process of steam distillation.

As I was doing the first cut of the lawn this year I saw a beautiful Peacock butterfly on a yellow Primula but by the time I found my camera the butterfly had gone,  While I'm typing this I've noticed some more about so perhaps the warmer weather is here at last?

Just as the Magnolia Stellata has come into flower the winds have picked up and started to blow the flowers off and since I took this photo earlier this afternoon that lage bird table has blown over.  It's a shame that the flowers don't last longer and that you get a chance to appreciate them.

I will do once it's back up again!   (I've modified my last comment so it makes sense!  :-[ )

The Prunus Kanzan is in full flower at the moment but the blossom is already starting to fall.

We inherited this lovely patch of late flowering daffodils from the previous owner of our garden. Still in flower today.

No one would ever know that there was anyone in the caravan Mike if it wasn't for the sound of your Saxaphone playing.     :)

The Clematis have started to come into flower and the Hosta seems to have survived the transplanting.

Hugo, you are obviously a keen gardener. Do you have any advice for us? We have lost 3 well established clematis this winter. Only one survived which was the most recently planted one, a clematis montana. Any ideas what could have caused this? I would hate it to happen again.
Yours looks lovely at the moment.
