Spring
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!!
Thanks
Wow! You have a beautiful garden
Thanks. It’s not as beautiful as it could be yet, am planting like mad now since its spring!
Beautiful garden, and really beautiful flowers! I can imagine it must be very satisfying to help bring them to the world.
Yes, they are my babies
Love the pic with the wooden bird in it. Where is the ‘like’ button?!
Thanks. The bird is from Thailand. Anyway, I prefer comments to fb type “likes!”
AWESOME!
so so pretty. Loved them all.
gorgeous. are your house elves still helping out? R1&R2…
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.
