#notmygarden mums garden #hydrangea #pink #lilac 💞💜💞

This one was really damaged in hailstone and lost and weakened several stems but it was determined enough to flower 💚💞💚💞

It's a trooper...😘

It's lovely keely 💗

💕💕💕

Typical next door neighbour does nothing in her garden and has never done anything but dead head this hydrangea and just look at it 💕💚💕 it never gets watered or fed and just gets better every year #notmygarden

I hate that Keely @Keely always make sure mine are watered and fed I sure if I neglected them they would die 😘

🤣 I can't believe that Keely I've lost one..it hasn't got a leaf as yet and I pampered it like a baby last year! 😂😂😂 it's fab too it's going to be gorgeous! 🌸💗👌

@jadojado29 @mich @Jasonsparkes1 her Pieris and Hebe are same they thrive off neglect her soil has never had anything added to it and very rarely gets dug over its dry as a bone and like rock to dig as I do a bit sometimes for her but its such hard work, been round and pulled up a load of weeds and cut her hedge after work tonight she's 84 so can't do anything now but does get me mad when she gets these lovely blooms 😣

😂😂typical 😳😘

Beautiful 😍

Fabulous , I've got a neighbour like that 😂 @Keely

Pleased this has come back I moved it last year and seems to be enjoying its new position , not long to go to see flowers 😊

Looks lovely 👍

Looks like its going to be amazing Keely 😀😍

There's always a bit of doubt when you move something but this looks happy👏 @Keely lovely colour to this, like the pink tinge

Great picture!

Wow cool photos 😃

Fab 💛

That's going to be magnificent when it opens beautiful😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

She's a zingy green, not long @Keely

I said there was a hydrangea behind all that stitchwort, had a bit of a clearout so I can watch it progress👍

There is a hydrangea behind all this!!

What is the white flower. I like its rampant nature 😀

@trina hi its greater stitchwort, its under my plant pics 👍 great coverage for late spring 😁

Just what I need for some in between areas 👍🏻

Oh lovely, I bought some greater Stitchwort earlier this year from a wildflower supplier, just found it tonight still in its pot! I forgot to plant it, so a job for the wkd I think 🙄

Looks good for £2.50 no idea where it will go but you cant beat a bargain!!

A bargain ! 👏

Hey not bad

Brilliant 😍

There's always a space for another plant well that's what I say to myself looks lovely 😂

@gaynor I just take one out that I have 2/3 of so looks like the rudbeckia is going to be the one as I have 5 clumps of that and neighbours or colleagues at work will get them 😁 @ukjohnny sorry its got a space now 😆

That sounds like something I would do - buy it and worry about where I'm gonna put it later 😀 - lovely, and early! @Keely

@richard.spicer.7906 its in the summerhouse for now as been sleeting today n windy n cold have pot it on ready for better warmer weather when it decides to show its face, running out of floor space in summerhouse so 🌞 needs to hurry up !!
