A Flowery Post.



Hello again. Thank you for all the lovely get well wishes for my sweet friend who is indeed recovering a little now. Wouldn't some sunshine help? Today we have rain...again. It was bright first thing and I raced out with the camera before the wind rose bringing torrential rain in its wake. A touch of spring is what I was after and I found it in these clusters of primroses



The winter flowering cherry is very late this year, but looks so beautiful now with its froth of blossoms.



Forget-me-nots scatter there vibrant blue throughout the borders



and will eventually entwine with the myriad tulips now showing promise despite being planted so late (February!!!). Just goes to show it is always worth a shot doesn't it?



Inside, the window is lit by this pretty miniature rose



Such swirly skirts and even a delicate waft of perfume.



All very lovely, but in truth I want the sun to accompany me, warm on my back as I plant these little beauties.


I can't wait.



Have a lovely Monday x

  1. Gosh you're so much further along with your spring than we are! Gorgeous flowers, I can't wait until Argyll is blooming. A happy Monday to you too. I'm off to see if I have any lambs and then jump on a horse for a bit :o)

  2. Beautiful flowers Pipany. I bet your garden is a delight at the moment. We haven't got much in flower yet but the daffodils have decided to show their faces at last!!! x

  3. Such gorgeous flowers. I saw my first primrose here today too. The poor thing was being lashed by rain, but was pluckily holding its own. It will be interesting to see how much sooner your tulip blooms compared to mine here. I've got leaves so far, but no buds. Have a good week. xx

  9. Lovely flowery photos Pipany. We have just come back from a trip to Salisbury and noticed loads of primroses in bloom on the banks in places - real Springtime flowers. Your cherry looks beautiful and that rose is lovely too I can almost smell it!

    Thanks for sharing.

  12. OH lovely, spring laden pictures! I gasped in astonishment at the flowering cherry - up here, our cherry trees are still tiny buds on wintery looking twigs - I forget how much warmer the south west can be compared to our chilly northern climes (and wonders out loud why on earth did I move back up country??!!)

    Sending love

  14. Dear Pipany, Could you please help me? You had mentioned a few weeks ago that you hadn't been notified of my newer posts. Are you supposed to be? Have been notified lately? To be exact, I am seeing that my latest post from Saturday is not updating anywhere. It was a whopper of a post and a labor of love and I'm so sad that it's not showing up in people's blog rolls!

    If you could let me know, I would so appreciate it! and, please, just trash this yucky comment that just doesn't belong in the discussion after your beautfiul post!

    Thanks! Katy
