euonymus

Another year, another set of photos. The weather's been very strange so far this year with very mild, wet weather changing to frost and snow then back to mild. The plants won't know whether to grow or not.

aconite

The aconites were really early this year. Lovely, bright flowers and always welcome.

You can see how sunny it was when I was walking round with my camera.

This acid green cornus still has a few leaves clinging on.
