Spring is sprung

Seeing the first of the daffodils coming through in the garden is just delightful. The pop of yellow and the brightness they bring to the garden always makes me smile.

I can feel the warmth in the sun, helping to wake up the spring flowers once again, and tell us ‘spring has sprung’. Simply my favourite season.

The hellebores are still doing well with their darker winter hues, and they look majestic against the slightly more vibrant greens that are appearing.

The Muscari is blooming all around the edge of the courtyard. It’s such a beautiful vivid blue against the silver of the lavender, which is laying dormant waiting for its own moment.

I also have a few pansies that have self seeded. I bought some more today, so will look to fill some pots with more colour.

The bleeding heart I think has flowered a little early, but it’s looking strong along with the hyacinths I’d popped in last year, after I’d enjoyed them in the house.

Lastly, the little anemones are popping up throughout the gravel. they have all self seeded themselves, so hopefully I’ll have lots more in years to come.
