foto Friday - Flowers Spring is revving up nicely with three days of temperatures in the 23-24 C (73-75F) range. With the temperatures set to go right down to zero (32) in the next few days and some snow forecast, the spring blooms are making hay while the sun shines. Cyclamen hiding beneath a large fern White and Yellow narcissus Wood anemones and Grape hyacinth This blue Hyacinth is now naturalised in the large tub and comes back every year. The mixed daffodils and tulips have all turned out shades of yellow somehow. One of my wife's favourites Fritillaria Meleagris; great plants for wet soil. The all time favourite of people from Devon (cue Mrs J) the native primrose. This one is thriving in deep shade under the leaves of a large foxglove. White alyssum survived the winter in a hanging basket on the wall behind the boiler. Cherry blossom is really evocative of Spring. |

I love hyacinths, but they usually come up and are spent by the time I spend any time outside to enjoy them, so I ended up cutting them to have in the house. Then one year, they just didn't come up. I do have some little grape ones out near the lilac bush, but they haven't appeared yet this year. I enjoyed your pictures. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

So beautiful :- ) I'm not familiar with Fritillaria Meleagris - I liked it immediatedly and looked for further information online. I love its shape and striking chequered petals as well as drooping habit - beautiful.
