A feeling of Spring

The days are beginning to feel more Spring like. Weather has warmed up and bright sun during the days really feels good.

Primroses, Primula vulgaris

Primroses (Primula vulgaris) are showing more and more with the warmer days.

Pieries japonica buds

The Pieries (Pieries japonica) is about ready to flower. It is something to look forward to  having a delicious sweet musky scent to the flowers. They are beloved by Bumblebees who find it a valuable source of food in the early part of the season.

A friend in the garden.

A small friend came round to help in the garden, staying with me all the time while I was at work there.

Tenby Daffodils ( Narcissus obvallaris) are now in bloom. These are delicate sized yet strong Daffodils that quickly naturalize in the garden.
