Thank goodness for drifts of delightful Forget-me-nots. They hide a multitude of gardening sins :)
However, other things have made up for it... I planted as many daffodils as I could afford but was thrilled to discover that the previous owner could clearly afford far more than me! I didn't have a garden full of every imaginable type of daffodil possible but there was plenty of variety that's for sure.
The freesias were lovely, especially the ones I bought on a whim and planted in clumps. And what a delightful surprise some of them were. Down our street a neighbour has some of the most beautiful tulips I've ever laid eyes on under a deciduous tree. I covet them. I feel an obsession with bulbs building.
I don't remember buying raspberry spotted freesias... but I'm sure glad this beauty turned up!
I thought my poor potted gerbera was a goner just a month ago. I've recently discovered they're indoor plants... guess it didn't like being left outside over winter then! I've moved it into the shaded patio area under the golden elms and it seems to like it there so far.
Cerinthe Major (Honeywort). Just flowering now and its the first plant I've grown from seed all by myself! A proud moment when those petals appeared :)
The first fuschia blooms. Here's hoping there'll be many more.
I love this lavender! Yellow and purple is my favourite colour combination and I'm especially proud that I bought it as a throw away second and nursed it back to health. Do I have green thumbs or what????
Aaaahhhh... spring. It's completely glorious.
