New Growth, Purple and Yellow

Our Christmas Cactus, which I have learned today is a Schlumbergera, is growing new leaves which are very delicate and pink. Walking up from town (hard work but rewarding! I made it!) the huge Magnolia at the bottom of the lane is just coming into flower.

2   In the little herb wall, these crocuses are taking over from the purple and orange ones.  I love the dusty pollen scattered inside.

3   The Tete-a-tete continue to flower – such a long and happy season. Here they are in tiers in our back garden.
