It’s once again that time of year to cut back those Epimediums so that we get a chance to see those flowers in a couple weeks.

I love the flowers on Mexican Orange Blossom, and the foliage on this variety (Choisya × dewitteana 'Aztec Pearl') is cool as well. #TinyFlowerTuesday

Not exactly a #ThickTrunkTuesday contender, but I love this kink in this tree’s trunk. A great example of how a tree will bend at extreme angles to find a gap between other trees.

Shower and change at work tonight as we’re off to the Belgravia and Knightsbridge Community Awards at the Peninsula Hotel. How do I look? 🥴

A grey day, but at least the Winter Sweet (Chimonanthus praecox) is out and adding some amazing scent to the the garden.

Not really snowy, as we didn’t get much in London, but I did capture this picture of our frozen waterfall

My first #SixOnSaturday of 2026 definitely has a wintery feel, but there’s still some colour in the gardens.
I have an Algerian Iris, a crisp down, frozen waterfall, Snowdrops in the Snow, water droplets on Euphorbia and Garrya flowers.

Never been interviewed in front of a green screen before rather than a nice studio, especially as it was so cold and wet today 😂

A break from the leaf clearing to do a bit of plant division on some Lily Turf (Liriope muscari)

This Algerian Iris (Iris unguicularis) has definitely cheered me up on my first day back at work on a cold January day.

Catching up with a garden design project I have at work whilst watching a bit of NFL. It’s a tropical themed bed, and it’s vital there’s some sort of seasonal interest all year round.
