In the garden


The Spring flowers have really grown over the past week.
Snowdrops  

Hellebores

The warmer weather has encouraged the Viburnum fragrans to flower again.

The 'Catkins' on Corylus avellana are looking good.
My sister gave me some flowers this week.
Bouquet
The arrangement contained one stem of an Alstroemeria which was so pretty I put it into a vase on its own

The vase is one of my newest, it came from a charity shop and cost £1.

  1. Well,aren't you warmer than we are?

    All we have are the beginnings of snowdrops.

    Everything looks springy and hopeful and beautiful in your garden.

    Thanks for the message of hope.

  6. I must be doing something wrong, despite having had a good show in the past my snowdrops have been very few in number this year.
