Your clematis is off to a good start, Linda, but then it always has done well up in those airey heights No joking, mine doesn't even have leaves yet. Then fuchsia and I think a bay leaf, not sure what the last climber is, surely not sweatpea? At any rate, it has buds already.

I see the balcony is still providing plenty of healthy looking plants, I just don't know how you do it! Do post up more pix as they develop!

The seventh one down, Linda, is what I thought was a Bay Leaf.

That last pic looks to be the essence of spring and easter, all in one basket! Well done! I see that your balcony is still a very busy place Linda, you certainly make the most of the available space!

Just love those flowers, Linda, really pretty. I think they are the ones that bloom the whole season long. Like you, I also don't know which pic is nicer, so thanks for showing us both.

Well I have to say that I prefer the second one, as the light is catching the petals beautifully!
