Intermission 23h colour

Nature has a way of making even colour it’s own magic

Just a weed but what orange and russet
Always a favourite a geranium in purple?
Another favourite – lychnis whose pinky red hues are quite unreal with the contrasting green grey foliage adding to the show
Lancastrian red
Yorkist white

Intermission 23e

This Winter was wet and is now dry – it has been sometimes cold but the overwhelming feeling is it is another mild winter – famous last words, as Spring is not yet with us and it can still snow and freeze well into April………

Intermission 22d

Its Spring and a flurry of colour…………….

A blaze of yellow
Glorious Tulips
Primrose
Dark to Black Tulips are not everyones cup of tea but the edges on these are fantastic
this flowering alpine green leaves really set off the miniature pink and yellow flowers
More Pink – this time a spikey Tulip

And even the trees are beginning to bud

ok so this is a mediterranean pine tree – after 15 years in a pot – grown from seed you get these neat little cones – tree fruit if you like.
