So far, Aeoniums are surviving well in the winter window box. Cheers me up every time I see them. #londongardens #windowbox #aeonium #winterwindowbox #succulentsofinstagramKerria japonica seems rather out of fashion these days, but I always find it a cheering sight when it does its thing in spring. Think this double bloom is ‘Pleniflora’. #kerriajaponica #londongardens #yellowfebruaryblooms #februaryblooms #yellowflowers #springblooms#cyclamencoum Such tiny perfection. Gorgeous!!Completing the trio of Chaenomeles that I see every year. Another beauty. Bees love them. This one is a hedge in #highbury Just thinking where I could fit a couple more plants into the garden.....#chaenomeles #londongardens #frontgarden #islingtonI can’t say that I’ve ever been a fan of a Bergenia (& their big flappy leaves) but slowly they’ve crept into my good books, and I was surprised at how pleased I was to see these demure blooms today. Tastes do change. Quite a Pyracantha fan these days too. #bergenia #februaryblooms #londongardens #pinkwinterblooms #evergreensClematis armandii looking as stupendous as ever, but flowering earlier & earlier every year. Last year I posted a similar pic on 27th Feb. #clematis #clematisarmandii #londongardens #winterblooms #whitewinterflowers #whiteflowers #evergreenclimberOlder posts

Just looking for pattern ideas for 2 hedges in my front yard. I am an amateur hedge artist.

Just wondering what kind of camera and lens you use for your beautiful photos?
Hi Bev, I use a Nikon D300 and a 18-70 f3.5-4.5 zoom. I think both body and lens are no longer available as I’ve had this equipment for some years, but I have my eye on a D700 (which you can also shoot video on) and need to research which lenses are currently out there. V.best Naomi
