Sadly I'm a bit under the weather so I have to be satisfied with just looking for a while - but I'm loving our wild patch under the fruit trees where primroses, crocus, snowdrops and anenome and tiny daffodils are naturalising beautifully. Other bulbs are bursting through and the hellebores are making a fabulous show - and I can take out my camera. So this blog is just about the flowers....
These tiny delicate crocus have spread and grow all over our garden, and pop up in the lawn too.
When the hellebores seed, seedlings appear in the most unlikely places and in a variety of colours.
The cyclamen I photographed a month or so ago have suddenly become dozens!! Hard to believe that there was just one in this pan about five years ago. They've migrated to the next one, and into a narrow border on the other side of the path and into a couple of pots that stood nearby just for two or three weeks. I love the fact that when plants are happy they spread themselves around.
Inside the orchids are starting to flower like mad.
There are more - but I'll show you next time.
Thank you for looking
Robin

Hi Robin! I'm sorry, to read that you're not feeling well, take care.
What a lovely colorful treat this morning by opening my blog list: your flowers/plants are always a feast for the eyes, thank you so much for sharing!
My flower garden has been completely ruined by the heat/severe drought of last summer. We now have to wait to see what will still grow, otherwise we'll have to buy new plants, so......nothing to show yet here, on my blog ;)!
I hope you will feel better soon.
Warm hugs, Ilona
Hello Robin!
I'm so sorry to hear you weren't feeling well and hope you are much better now.
However, this was a delightful post, full of the promise of spring, which is gradually beginning to show up in Wales, though we are due one of those storms today that, American style, has suddenly become important enough to be given a name.
Sorry this is so late, for some reason, I know longer get a message to say you have posted on your blog, so keep popping back to look. Google seem to have hijacked my feed and I don't have a Google email account anymore.
Grandma, Grandpa and the two Gardeners and their grandson , Malcolm are all waving madly. Still my favourite little characters and with me while we wait for work on the big people house. Though their houses are in store just now, they spend time between my bedside and a kitchen shelf, depending on their mood.
Much love,
Jenni
Lovely to read your comments ladies. I have sciatica which is painful, boring and taking far to long to get better - although it is improving - thanks for your good wishes.
It's surprising how resilient Mother Nature is so I hope your flower garden will have survived better than you think - and if not think of the fun of choosing new plants Ilona.
I hope work on the big house won't take too much longer Jenni and that you and the mini family can get back in before the summer. Lovely to hear from you, stay in touch
