Spring Colour

Our garden always seems to be a bit slow to start in Spring. We’re rather high up and our neighbours down in the valley have daffodils flowering a good fortnight before ours. I don’t really mind as they’re all worth the wait.

We inherited a hillside of daffs when we bought the house. The area is in a more inaccessible part of the garden so they really are left to get on with it. The display is stunning (and ever increasing year on year) and brings many an admiring smile to passers by. Mother nature announcing, on no uncertain terms, that spring is well and truly under way!

I suppose, as I’m going to the effort of writing a blog/diary, I aught to try to learn the name of some of these plants. Then I would have to get spellings, which I can’t be bothered doing. For the time being this shall be known as the spring, pink flowering alpine which was bought at a seriously marked down price and has taken to our garden like  duck to water!

This is a lovely spring flowering clematis which from a distance appears to display a shadow like effect as it drapes over the pergola. It had quite a “doing” from the sheers a couple of months ago but has made a sensational come back!

Cherry blossom. Gorgeous.
