Little things

 It's such a joy to be able to wander through the garden and pick just a few Spring flowers.




Cowslips are spreading this year, the Grape hyacinths are a pretty blue, tulips are opening their colourful wings and forget-me-not is everywhere. Pink and cream primroses give their lovely scent. A couple of later mini daffodils are there too.

Just a small vase makes the room a pretty place.



A Pulsatilla, or Pasque flower hides amongst the other flowers. It has done so well this year and is full of blooms.


During the next few weeks I look forward to watching plants pop up, greeting old friends like my Peony and Delphiniums. 
So much to enjoy.

Here in Pembrokeshire I have a new garden to make following building works - I rather hope it can be colourful this year. I'm not green fingered but I would so like to have a beautiful cottage garden.

This is why I garden! So I can go out and cut some flowers and bring them in to give live to my rooms!

Your vase of beautiful flowers has certainly cheered your home! One of the joys of spring is seeing so much color again after a season of gray.

That fresh flower bouquet is so pretty. We were sad to hear about the passing of Prince Philip today. What a long life he had.

I love your cheery bouquet from the garden and I love your vase. We're so much further behind in Spring around here. It's normal, but I'm feeling especially homesick for spring to break forth in new life and colours.

Hugs to you, Barbara!

Little patches of colour

  Despite the drought and the effect it has had on gardens, there is still some colour around. I have a dry brownish lawn but in the flower ...
