Spring

2010 April 27

The big, bare patches in my garden flowerbeds are slowly being filled. Am removing dead plants and taking stock of what the harsh winter destroyed. I have my usual spring fever-the brain filled with planting schemes. As if I didn’t have enough to do these days…

The almond tree has finished flowering. It’s blooms are so pretty and with us for such a short time:

The neighbour’s cat has mostly destroyed my pink lilies-I have one sad bulb emerging at the moment, and the snails have already had a nibble. The lilies used to look like this in bloom:

The blue phlox are beginning to bloom:

The cyclamen are on their way out. They bloom in winter, but the sunlight has given them a magical glow, captured by A’s camera:

The wooden birds I had stuck on the wall have remained in place:

Tree bark is always a thing of beauty:

And the pansies are a velvety delight:

    Beautiful garden, and really beautiful flowers! I can imagine it must be very satisfying to help bring them to the world.

      They are off doing their own thing :) .R1 is back in India and R2 doesn’t live with us anymore. She was here today though, and helped a bit with the garden while I was away at work.
