There are tubs of pretty pink winter cyclamen (when I tried growing them they all got eaten by the sodding slugs) |
This rather magnificent old ivy got blown down in the storms before Christmas and this is all that is left now it has been neatened up. |
OK - so not the clearest photo but a pretty Hydrangea leaf bud in the sunshine all the same. |
A positive flurry of snowdrops. |
Some sunny yellow crocuses (or is it croci!) |
More of those pretty, delicate snowdrops |
Mr. Blackbird checking out the bird table - it had lost it's roof in the storms but he didn't care! |
There's even still some great looking veggies - one lone celeriac and a few leeks. |
And just look at this gorgeous hellebore flower - I do love the Hellebores at this time of year. Another slightly fuzzy close up I'm afraid - struggling slightly with the macro pics on my new camera! |
I didn't expect to see the Camellias in flower - beautiful. Did you know that Camellias are related to the tea plant? |
And lastly the primroses - another wonderful spring flower. |
Spectacular photos and the colours are just wonderful. Aaron just picked up daisies on his way back from nursery just now and it quite literally made my day xx
ReplyDeleteI've got 2 hydrangeas in my new garden and I'm so excited to see what colour flowers I get this year!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to be joining in back in with How Does Your Garden Grow. I feel I've been stuck in the house far too long and I need to get out in the garden now :)
I adore snowdrops! Really lovely pictures, Grandma has a lovely garden x
ReplyDeleteLovely photos - especially the snowdrops! I have always loved snowdrops :)
ReplyDeleteSpring is definitely coming in Grandma's garden!
ReplyDeleteWe have a communal garden but sadly it is basically some washing lines and a couple of patches of grass, no flowers to be seen. :(
This is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGrandma is like my dad - He loves his garden. I can admit that I do not have my dads green fingers unfortunately.
Maybe when I was younger with my mud pies haha.
Love the pink winter cyclamen they look like orchids my fav.
Thanks for sharing hunny

The colours and life in that garden are absolutely amazing for February! Beautiful x
ReplyDeleteOh beautiful flowers already in the garden!! I have been taking pics in my garden..really should get a post up
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that Grandparents gardens seem to still look beautiful whatever the weather throws at them - cannot wait for mine to dry out a bit so I can sort it out.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty things :) Our garden is definitely not fit to be shown on the internet right now!
ReplyDeleteThese snowdrops look amazing!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I have/ had none this time round
I love "Grandma's garden!"
ReplyDeleteisn't it funny how grandparents gardens always seem to be great, regardless of weather?
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I love all the spring flowers especially crocuses and snowdrops. X
ReplyDeleteour garden needs some loving this year, starting to look a little tatty. shouldn't really as it's so small but it suddenly seems to snow ball. can't wait for the weather to start to turn so we can get out and get down and dirty ;) x
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty shots - and I adore Mr Blackbird - I've been trying to capture ones in our garden but no joy on a decent shot as of yet. Grandmas has a lovely garden!
ReplyDeleteNice to have a night out - how was the gig?
Thanks for joining in and sharing - and sorry for the delay in commenting - power cuts and birthday parties here! x
No worries - you are always such a busy bee and I totally understand the power cuts - we get more than our fair share here! The gig was fabulous - he's a local boy you know - from near Winchester!
DeleteI love this time of year when you get hints of colour when you're not expecting it. In our villag we've got snowdrops and crocuses and the suggestion of daffodils opening soon. However, our garden does not have much going on. Partly because we've been focussing on the house for the last year, but also because I'm no gardener, maybe one day.
ReplyDeleteI really like all these spring photographs popping up! I love the vivid colours after the cold, grey winter days!
ReplyDeleteThere is lots to look at and enjoy in Grandma's garden. ours is a blank canvas at the moment as we mainly grow veg and I wasn't organised enough to plant winter veg! It is lovely seeing the sunshine and evenings starting to get lighter, soon I will be back in my wellies and out planting seeds.
ReplyDeleteWow! I wish we had a garden like that - ours is the same soggy mess as yours by the sounds of it :-( I love this time of year when everything starts to show signs of life again.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see veg at this time of year. I really hope we sort our veggie plot this year for round the season productivity! Lovely pics x
