CAMERA CAPERS

 March was a mixed bag of weather, but we managed a walk every day.   Usually just around the village greens and along to Lord's Hill and back up the lane to home.  We had quite a bit of wet weather, with the garden underwater, and other days fine and sunny.  We also had some very windy days and nights.  I've never seen a toadstool this early in the year. There's always someone who won't move out of the way! Happy Easter

Anenome - newly planted in the garden. Hellebores - I need more of these in the garden This white Hellebore is particularly nice and has been flowering since before Christmas This is Pelargonium cotyledonis which is flowering in the conservatory.   Originating from the island of St. Helena where it is also known as Old Man Live Forever.   The plant grows like a small bonsai tree.                         Snowflake or Leucojum                          White blossom Cherry Blossom Hippeastrum flowering in the conservatory - this one is called Naughty Lady.  Not so naughty - she had eight flowers on one stem and the second one has seven Window box outside the dining room Pulsatilla, or Pasque flower, just opening The Camelia at the end of the g
