The grass is growing, the fields are losing that dirty mud colour as fresh crops start pushing upwards, and the trees are rapidly turning green – you know that fresh lime green of sycamores that stands out so dramatically against a blue sky?
Talking of blue, my Grape Hyacinths are looking exceptionally good this spring, having spread everywhere I look. Plenty for a vase for Cathy’s Monday meme.
In fact, there are quite a few white ones too, as well as the pale blue Muscari ‘Peppermint’ which I especially love.
But not only the Muscari are enjoying the unusually warm temperatures this April, with the odd shower and cool nights as refreshment…
A jar of joy!
Tulips, daffodils, pulmonaria, cowslips, mahonia, snowflakes, hyacinths…
I must also show you a photo I took on our outdoor table so you can see what the rain brought with it – no, not pollen, but Sahara sand!
Thanks to Cathy at Rambling in the Garden for hosting this meme… I am late posting today, but am always glad if I have the time to join in! 🙂
