IN BLOOM TODAY

BLUE HYACINTH

These blue hyacinths are in bloom today in my garden. I couldn’t resist putting one in a yellow vase, I love the combination blue and yellow. I just took one flower as they bloom much longer in the garden than in a vase.

After I took this photo I put it in my livingroom on the coffee table, my whole house smell’s like Spring now !

Have a great weekend all !!

PINK PEONY

PINK PEONY

One flower in a glas, that’s all you need to give a room a Spring feeling. I bought it, it does not come from my garden. No flowers in the garden yet except for the Skimmia but leaf buds are definitely getting fatter.

Have a great weekend !!

A BIT OF SPRING TODAY

We have a bit of Spring today, tomorrow will be Winter again ha ! But today is sunny and not too cold, when I have a walk in my garden with the dogs I hear a lot of buzzing from bees and bumble bees, I love that sound !! There are a lot of birds looking for nest material. The days are getting longer and I can smell it in the air. We are sure headding in the right direction.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHRUBS ; SKIMMIA KEW GREEN

When the flowers are open the whole shrub is buzzing, the buds appear in Autumn and soon the buds will open up. Very easy small shrub. Wintergreen and winter hardy, a gem in the garden. There are males and females, so if you want berries you need one of each.

Have a great week all !

RANDOM PICTURE

BLUE IRIS IN A BOG

I took a picture of this iris when we were on holiday in the US, we were walking in a nature reserve and there it was, in a bog. I loved it so I tried to paint it.

Have a great weekend all and keep safe !
