Signs of Spring

I took advantage of the wonderful warm weather to catch up on a bit of gardening in the front garden yesterday. There really are some glorious signs of spring out there - being south facing everything is bathed in sunlight, even at this time of year, and the flowers hold their faces up to the sun and catch all that light, transforming it into beautiful colour and pattern.


the daffs and crocuses glimmering in one corner


candytuft flowers just beginning to swell and peek out from their tight little buds


lots of wonderful green from other bulbs gathering energy for their later flowering - although con one have an excess of bluebells? I feel not, but when they pop up just everywhere and you've got more things to fit in the space it's a bit perplexing


a warm cat soaking up the sun behind the buds and wondering why his 'ooman has cut back all that lovely nesty grass


stonecrop and tulip leaves forming a harmony of colour close to the soil


the brilliant winter jasmine, glowing against terracotta


yet more crocus


last year's osetospermum tucked under the window, complementing the colours of the euphorbia behind


and a little cluster of snowdrops at the base of the weeping birch, just beginning to clump up after five years in the ground (you see why I have snowdrop envy Els)


Hope they cope with the coming change in the weather
