Following on from previous articles I thought it would be good to show you how much later things actually come out up here. Admittedly as you can see from some of the shots the Daffs are starting to go over, but all else has just bloomed in the last few days. It has been a wonderful year for those Pom-Pom Primula “things”, with such variety in colours. Primroses are spectacular, especially at dusk when they are iridescent. We do not have many Grape Hyacinths as they tend to take over, but they are looking splendid as well.
We think the mice have enjoyed some of our Fritillary, but what we have left are a cracking colour & in this rare bit of sunshine they show up well. As you can see from the shots of the Daffs some are being eaten as they die while others are in tip top condition. I particularly like the 4th shot showing the flies on it & if you look close I am chuffed with the fly hovering to the right of the flower.
Last two are of the Cherry blossom now fully out & the Water Marigold looking things that live on the edge of my pond.
As you can note I am not that good on names of plants, but I do enjoy the colour & pleasure they bring to the garden.
I am away for a week or so but I expect all will be different by the time we get back.
