This is definitely my favourite season of the year although I would like it a bit warmer. I hate the cold but also miss being outside in the winter so once the garden starts to come alive again I’m always so pleased. There’s lots in flower at the moment and I’ve just discovered the geraniums I thought I’d lost over winter do seem to be alive.
Slowly I think but the bulbs are starting to come up and I’m noticing already what’s missing. That’ll be most of my snowdrops, probably washed away in extreme rain we’ve had lately. Anyway just a couple of pictures of what is flowering at the moment – lots of crocus and one lonely clump of snowdrops
We’ve woken to snow for the 3rd day running which is unusual here really. It’s quite pretty and is still coming down but I hate driving in it or in fact even going outside. Young Wendy would be singing ‘so do you want to build a snowman’ by now. Older scared Wendy says no thanks, let me know when it’s gone!
I had a lovely afternoon at the Tatton flower show this afternoon with my friend. The last time it’ll be in this location until 2027! I only bought one plant as I didn’t really want to carry much – a hardy Salvia. I took lots of pictures and here’s some of them.
I can’t believe I’ve not posted this before as it’s just a great plant with lovely flowers and pretty easy going! It’s planted alongside Penstemon and a pink Astrania which I have actually dug out but is still there.
