Dahlia Cafe Au Lait

I love white flowers and am always looking to plant more of them. This is one of my favourite roses but don’t tell the others. It’s not the biggest rose and these are probably the only flowers it’ll have this year but they are beautiful

After a good few months of very dry weather and our many water butts emptying rapidly the rain seems to have started and forgotten to stop. The garden is grateful though and has been growing away although I have to say my foxgloves seem to have stunted growth this year and aren’t as tall as expected which is a shame as I plant them at the back of the border. I have lots of things flowering and here are some pictures – a lot of white and also pink.
















The first tulips to flower in my garden this year, they are doubled and apparently scented! 
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
