Despite the downpours and gales of recent weeks, there has been a variety of colour in the garden - and how cheering it is to see the lovely flowers.
Two varieties of Snowdrops -
Peony
Such a shame they hang their heads; you need to be a contortionist to capture their patterns and colours properly.
Violas, somewhat rain-damaged unsurprisingly.
Late Daffodils - and yes . . the pot needs weeding!
Purple Heather
Erm . . . ?

Early Daffodils (they bloomed in January)
And finally . . I don't have photos but I know definitely that frogs are a -wooing in my neighbour's pond, 'cos their amorous croaking has been lulling me to sleep in recent weeks! I shall have to watch out for their tiny offspring in a few weeks time when I'm mowing my lawns.
Lovely! Our spring is still far out of sight, but I can smell yours from here ... almost :)
ReplyDeleteNot so many signs of spring in Suffolk yet. We have some lovely clumps of Hellebores at the cottage - white and dark pink, but as you say,impossible to photograph as they are always looking down.
ReplyDeleteMuch the same here in Dorset, the hellebores are lovely, I bring a few inside just to admire. I have crocus and iris reticulata in a sunny spot, I think bulbs are magical, storing their energy all winter then appearing to give us hope.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty snowdrops. I never think to check if mine have different markings.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are lovely. The first signs of spring are heart filling.
ReplyDeleteWow - Spring is really springing forward in your part of the world, Rosie. It's lovely to see and what a great range of colourful flowers.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see your photographs here.
ReplyDeleteThe colours are so nice.
Happy March
Happy Spring
All the best Jan
I am loving your blog and totally in love with Snowdrops.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the loss of your dog. I'd be lost without my Rex, hair and all!
Yes, Zac was always shedding his fur, great clumps of it. Nowadays my vacuum cleaner is on part-time hours, but I'd gladly go back to daily vacuuming to have my boy back here.
