From the garden yesterday

Anemone time

The mild temperatures of recent weeks have encouraged a delightful display of anemones both in patio pots and in the borders.

Promises of Spring

The photographs included  in this post and the next were taken in my garden four days ago (4 March) and provide a colourful prelude to the season ahead.

 

Orchards in Ibiza

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Spring, the orchards of Ibiza are carpeted with wild flowers.

 

‘Oh to be in England now that April’s there …’

Yesterday was a warm, sunny day   –   we have had several recently.  The flowers responded appropriately.  It was a joy to be in England now that April’s here!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even the fish in the pond basked in the sunshine!

A confusion of rosemary and forsythia

One of the great joys in my garden at this time is seeing the rosemary and forsythia in bloom next to each other.  I don’t find the individual flowers of either shrub particularly exciting but the combinations of colour and shape are stunning and uplifting.
