This is one of those flowers that just appeared under our hedge but comes back every year - I think it is Honesty? |
Isn't the inside of a crocus just amazing? |
Daffs, being my favourite and all, I had to have a picture of one , although we don't exactly have 'hosts' of them - just the odd one here and there despite planting the bulbs in groups! |
Even the hedge/ shrubby plants are starting to flower - pretty sure this one is a Viburnam. |
Now we do have hosts of these beautiful crocuses though which is gorgeous. I love seeing them open up their faces to the sun and then close again at night or when the weather is just too bad. |
Some of my best loved flowers at this time of year are the hybrid Hellebores or Christmas Roses as my Grandmother used to call them. |
Hellebores come in lovely pinky purples too - I love the detail inside the flowers. |
We have had sun but we have also had hail - this lot stayed around for about 24 hours! The grasses don't look too bad from this angle either! |
Amazing what things look like in close up - this is a dogwood or Cornus Alba bud. |
And another purple crocus - this time closed against the grey skies and hail. |
You have lovely flowers in your garden! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a wealth of colour. We had an escaping chook so they are now sadly under tighter restrictions in their coop and run!
ReplyDeleteLOL - naughty chicken. Mine get out from time to time and seem to be able to wreak havoc in a very short space of time!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, the Christmas Roses are stunning.
ReplyDeleteLove those Hellebores - I could photograph them all day. Your chook looks lovely too - even if she does escape!
ReplyDeleteYay a chicken - Fab! We had hail like that last week too - it made the herb garden look a bit like it had white ornamental stones on it!
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colours, hellebores are one of my new fave things, I can't ever recall seeing them before until grandad pointed them out to me in his garden.
Sorry for being so late with the comment but I am back from my travels now and sat catching up on the HDYGG posts from Thursday - so many lovely posts this week! As always, thanks for joining in x
Beautiful photos! I love Spring flowers - my favourite time of year x
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great when they all start peeking up their bright little heads? You have a very impressive array of different colours here.
ReplyDeleteSpring is such a colourful season, i really do love it
ReplyDeleteI truly love seeing the garden come back to life in spring. The colours of the crocus are beautiful x #blogclub
