Spring blooming bulbs - a selection from Northview

Spring blooming bulbs - a selection from Northview. It has been a rainy week with not enough sun to make the bulbs open up and shine but some stalwarts continue to grow. Chionodoxa Violet Beauty, Hyacinth Splendid Cornelia, Daffodil and Crocus Jeanne d’Arc. I hope that you are seeing some signs of spring in your garden. If not now it must be soon.

Lovely Leucojum vernum glowing in the morning sunl

Lovely Leucojum vernum glowing in the morning sunlight by one of the ponds. Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you all. Time to plant peas and sweet peas if you can see your soil and the snow has melted - soon if not now. Spring is nearly here (in the northern hemisphere!).

Cheerful daffodils for a blustery day. If it looks

Cheerful daffodils for a blustery day. If it looks like the daffys are dancing - they may be. There is a howling gale coming in through the window cracks. Snow flurries for most of the morning. March is living up to its old saying ‘In like a lion’ let’s hope by the end of the month it goes out ‘like a lamb’. The vase was bought on my recent lecture tour in Detroit @pewabic pottery - near Belle Isle. It has a gorgeous smooth finish, dark celadon color. Made by Steven Kin - so talented. Thanks to @scs_richardsrambles for taking me there. Great day.

Winter Aconites or Eranthis are still lighting up

Winter Aconites or Eranthis are still lighting up the garden with their sunny blooms. Hard to establish from the dried up corms available in the autumn but easy if you get a scoop from a gardening friend at this time of year. Watch out though, I have found out, they can be aggressive growers once established. Cute in a pot!

Happy St. David’s Day with daffodils for the pat

Happy St. David’s Day with daffodils for the patron saint of Wales. Our Welsh Granny would always wear a daffodil on her lapel today. Thinking of her and my Grandfather who was born on February 29th and would often celebrate his birthday today. There are not many March 1sts that I can have daffodils from the garden so I am making the most of this one. Individual photos. Two of Rjienveld’s Early Sensation, Peeping Tom, either Itzim or Jetfire, and February Gold that lived up to its name this year.

Witch hazels are a fabulous shrub for winter garde

Witch hazels are a fabulous shrub for winter gardens. This bright terracotta and orange beauty is a cultivar called Vesna. I filmed this the other day when the sun was out and the curled up petals ( also called tepals) shone out against the brilliant blue sky. There were birds soaring above and at the end you could hear the train whistle from Ambler. That is how we know which way the wind is blowing. You can hear the wind in the microphone too. Cold day but so clear. If you are looking for something to add to your winter garden explore witch hazels. Go to a public garden that has some. Check out their ultimate size - they vary and some can be large. Smell the flowers. I only buy fragrant ones. Look at the color and see what you could pair it with. Lots of fun to be had. Latin name Hamamelis.
