March 2021 lockdown flowers

 Not having been able to go very far due to the lockdown, this post is about the flowers. 



Pieris just in flower

When forced hyacinths have finished flowering indoors I plant them in the garden where they continue to give pleasure for several years.

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 garden never fails to cover itself in blossom.


Primroses - who can resist them?

Muscari




No mistaking this




This cherry tree is on the village green outside the village shop - it was planted in memory of a friend of mine, Barbara Webb, who sadly died far too young.
