Warming Sun

Gradually the sun has been exerting it's warmth on everything. Spring flowers are now out and blooming.

Some of the first Tulips have come out fully in the latest sunny days.

The Skunk Cabbage (Lysichiton americanus) is a little early this year. But the yellow spathes and strangely even the skunky smell is welcome. Maybe it's me in this respect!

As I drove through Manorbier the other day I had to just stop and take a shot of  Springfields bulb fields. This local company has the largest cultivated stock of the Tenby daffodil.

They have helped in reversing the decline of the Tenby daffodil that had been going on in the recent past, making it now one of the must have forms within the garden. Thankfully many have been replanted around much of Wales.
