Marigold seized the opportunity to sleep on my newly discarded best cashmere sweater, the day having got warm, and firmly declined to be interested in spring scenery.
So here's a virtual walk. No prizes for matching pix to names: pansies, English thyme, lemon thyme, grape hyacinth, dogwood, aquiplegia (must check that, it sounds like a medical term meaning inability of limbs to function in water, which would be me, but I digress), sedum.
This may or may not be a treat for readers whose spring has not quite got there yet, or readers who are heading into fall...but oh well. Enjoy anyway!
So I hauled myself out to check and it's aquilegia. Ah, that's better.
I enjoyed the photos immensely, and the trees are utterly gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteExcellent pictures! The colors!! Ahhhhh.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. You are way ahead of my area in terms of flowers - in fact, I'm more of Marigold's frame of mind, but in lieu of a cashmere sweater, am currently enjoying a heating pad across my back.
I love aquilegia, commonly known as grannie bonnets over here. They will cross-pollenate and come up with new colour combinations if you leave them to their own devices.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. Thank you for taking me along with you on your walk. :)
ReplyDeleteArrgghhh.....here, in my part of the world it snowed all weekend long. And again today. Nice to see you have green grass, flowers, and a lovely shade of purple in that sweater! - Jean in the far frozen north.
ReplyDeleteOh - Definitely a treat to see!! The daffodils are just starting here so it's nice to see what's yet to come.
