Here's hoping everyone gets one! The sun is shining, the birds are
singing and all is well in the South Hams! The scent of honeysuckle
through our bedroom window this morning was exquisite, the Akebia
quinata alba is still stunning everyone with its perfume, Rose Gertrude
Jekyll is flowering, as is another little pink climber we've forgotten
the name of and the Rhododendron Lady Alice Fitzwilliam would knock you
out with the perfume! It's absolute bliss to walk around the garden at
present and see everything pushing each other out of the way to get on
with growing and flowering busily!


Nice here as well, the full moon is now passed and the lilac is in
flower so in a couple of days time it will be planting out time.
You must have an early honey suckle Sacha. Mine which I raised from
seed many years ago wont flower for a few weeks yet, but once it
flowers it will keep on flowering on and off till late summer, though I
have had flowers on it into October.

I don't know which honeysuckle it is, David but nothing exotically
wonderful. Probably just L. halliana! But it is on a south facing wall,
on the front of the house, so it gets every bit of sun and warmth there
is. Do you have the name of yours because it sounds good 'garden
value'?
