In the unspeakably miserable weather we are having at the moment the spring flowers are slow to start blooming. Sigh. Good job then, that I had some tulips left over from some I bought in for mothers' day bouquets. They lasted nearly two weeks and have been reminding me that colour will suddenly ripple through the garden, splashing about, weaving eye-popping joy about as it goes.
I also can never resist buying a few white cyclamen about now. Pure and uncomplicated and lovely.
I am offering these a few days late to Jane's flower party - where you will find lots of other flowery posts and kind hearts.

In other news, I forgot to tell you that last week I was on Sarah Raven's blog, Garlic and Sapphire, talking about narcissi - please pop over if you would like to read about why I really rate scented white narcissi so much - the blogpost is under the 'recent posts' header, titled "A blast of daffodil sunshine". So looking forward to the day when the garden is full of them again.

What gorgeous tulips! I love narcissus, but Mitchell can't stand the smell of them, so I don't grow them. Glad to see yours.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in.It's never too late to be up to date.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are soulful as ever.
Please send a jug of narcissus my way ASAP.

Love the Narcissi in the jug- a lot of our customers use mason jars and old bottles to get that vintage Spring look- Country Living Mag inspired!
