It's all about the flowers at this time of year. We went to our beloved Botanics and admired the many rhododendrons.
Oh, the pinkness.
I also really like this, which is apparently a hacquetia epipactis variegata. I don't remember seeing it before but I thought it was pretty. I'm not normally a fan of green flowers, but these are definitely as much yellow as green, and so bright against the brown earth.
We all have muscari, and they're frankly a bit of a pest, but they're also a lovely splash of blue after a grey winter.
Lots of hellebores, which are not huge fans of my garden, though I have a lovely one in a pot that's lasted several years.
The open greenhouse is full of colourful alpines.
Then this morning we found we'd had some overnight snow! But it didn't last.
I went down to Saughton Park to meet a friend for coffee. This bed is really just heather and pieris, but they make a nice bright splash,
Spring flowers are going at it enthusiastically..despite the weather!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a joy to see this post as I look out the window to snow and heavy winds!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to see colour after the winter months.
ReplyDeleteAll that color is so wonderful to see! My garden is weeks behind, but slowly getting there. The muscari continues in my garden even as I pull it out each year.
ReplyDeleteYou have many more flowers than we do! I love that green and yellow one; two toned blooms are my favorite. That purple nuisance one is the new one in my flower bed. Now I'm wondering if I should try to pull them out and put them in a pot.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of garden colour. I am unfamiliar with the green flowered plant. Must look it up.
ReplyDeleteIt is heartwarming to see colour and fresh growth. The green and yellow flowers are very pretty and most unusual.
ReplyDeleteWhat Beauty! Enjoy.
