Just a few of the blooms we are enjoying during this fine weather.
Mothering Sunday and my wife was inundated with flowers. Four separate, mixed, bouquets and 100 Daffodils.
Gorgeous
Who doesn’t like the flamboyant, exuberance of a Daffy ?
I know we are still officially in Winter, but a little bit of sunshine and elevated temperatures soon convince the plants to venture above soil level.
This is one of two Amaryllis, a gift from my sister. I’m ashamed to say they were neglected and started to grow in the delivery package before I acquired suitable soil and pots. With suitable nurturing it is leaping skywards although at this stage it does remind me of The Little Shop of Horrors.
Outside, on the decking, I now have a number of pots and troughs, starting to show the fruits of bulb planting late last year.
Only yellows at the moment, but time will reveal more, I’m sure.
