A square collage of nine close-up photographs of spring flowers in soft natural light against blurred green backgrounds. The blooms are mostly yellow and white and include cowslips, several varieties of daffodil and narcissus, a white daisy with a golden centre, a glossy winter aconite bloom with a green ruff, a bright yellow leopard’s bane daisy-like flower, and a starry lesser celandine. The arrangement creates a cheerful patchwork of early spring blossoms.

In Norse mythology the goddess Freya is associated with the return of spring. It is said that as she wanders over the earth shaking her curls, spring flowers flow from her golden tresses and a warm breeze is created by the swishing movement of her green cloak. #LegendaryWednesday

Purple and yellow crocuses

Purple and yellow crocuses

Evening all!

Vicarious, because I was doing other people's gardens but not my own. Back home now, building work done, I'm hoping to sow some seeds and get planting this week after we've cleared up 🌱

A few clippings from last spring of forsythia and daffodils in my green watering can. A sweet reminder of all that is to come. Wishing everyone a good Sunday.

As it was St David’s day this week, I thought I would start with a pure daffodil for my #SixOnSaturday.

A tropical rhododendron with red flowers and dark, almost black anthers.

Rhododendron 'Birat Red' is a somewhat mysterious vireya collected more than 50 years ago in a remote region of Papua New Guinea by an Anglican missionary with a botany degree from Cambridge. No one seems to know if it is a natural hybrid or undescribed species. 🌱 🌴

#SixOnSaturday – Six things happening in my garden thisΒ week Six on Saturday is a weekly meme originally hosted by The Propagator but now in the tender care of Jim at Garden Ruminations. It's been another week with some dry and sunny days here in Berkshire, albeit still chilly overnight. The rain returned on Friday so the al fresco mid-morning coffee breaks have had to be paused temporarily. However, the turf laid in the autumn in our revamped front garden has had its first cut and I spotted a pair of robins who look like they're setting up home in one of our hedges.

Happy #SixOnSaturday sky-folk, six pics from my garden this week where we've had a few nice days but are back to grey and rainy now. British weather is changeable at the best of times but in March you have to expect a bit of everything, sometimes all in the same afternoon 🀣🌱
