So lovely… thanks for sharing!
You are welcome!
Marvelous. I love the Iris reticulata.
They do very well in that spot of orchard, but round the corner they seem to be decreasing 😦
I love the different crocus colors together! I have some myself but they bloomed so quickly, I wish it were longer. With so many together it is really stunning.
Crocuses do go over quickly, but luckily each bulb usually produces several flowers … and they are a real boon for the early bees, so worth it! 🙂
Ahh, cherry blossom. I needed that! Thanks. 😉
You are welcome 🙂 ! The hedgerows round here have really whitened up during this last week.
Sweet! Those illuminated reticulatas are certainly celebrating spring.
Thank you! They seem to being used in a lot more mass plantings this year, including rather ingenious rivers of flowers. I might have to try that myself next year!
Every time you mention Wimpole Hall, I think of The Barretts of Wimpole Street. I especially enjoyed the photo of the daffodils. They’re so much lovelier in a natural setting than in a grocery store!
Yes, but to be able to bring that cheerfulness inside is worth a lot on a miserable day like today! That is a lot of pretty depressing tropes!! Now I need more daffodils 🤣
Lovely pictures. xx
Thank you!
