Spring Flowers

I didn't know what to write about today so here's some of the photos I took yesterday instead. This is a selection of what's flowering in the garden at present.

the last of the pieris flowers

this one isn't doing too well where it is so will be moved to a different part of the garden

the rest of the summer snowflakes have appeared at long last!

daffodils in the late afternoon sun (please ignore the weeds!) 

I can't remember the name but these are a type of allium. It was probably a mistake to plant them like this as it doesn't really show them off to their best so they will be spread around the garden for next year

  1. Spring has sprung around there - what a treat your garden is.

    1. Thanks Eileen. The gardens still quite bare in places but I hope to remedy that with the next lot of planting. Daffodils always cheer me up!

    1. Having the garden has been a real blessing during the last year as it's provided a safe place to be outside. I'm guessing you don't have a garden yourself?

    2. You're right, I just have a balcony where there are two chairs and a table and some pots with my plants...

    3. It's good to hear that you have some outside space to sit and enjoy a relaxing moment with a tea or coffee.

  4. They look beautiful Eileen. I love the pink tulips. I think for next year I will definitely try and find some. I love bulbs grown in pots as they can add a little splash of colour where ever you want. I also find mine seem to grow better but I don't know why. Have a very Happy Easter. x

    1. The bulbs in pots are doing better than the ones in the soil - tulips definitely don't seem to like the heavy clay soil. I'll be looking for more of the pink ones next year as well.

  6. Your flowers are beautiful! All your planning and planting are showing results and I'm glad to read in one of your responses above that the garden is turning out how you envisioned it. I especially liked seeing the summer snowflakes, tulips, and daffodils. I've only once seen summer snowflakes growing here. I've grown tulips and daffodils, but, they are annuals over here, in southern California. I'm looking forward to seeing your garden flowers over the next several months. :)

    1. Thanks Bless, so far it's as I imagined it to be so I am very happy with that. The majority of the bulbs are in pots so, once they are over for the year, will be moved out of the way, still in their pots to allow the die back, and will be replace by the summer colour. I am going to buy that next week.

    1. Thank you. I'm so happy with all of them, even the ones that aren't the colour that was promised on the packaging 😊
