Colour is appearing all over the garden. It pleases me greatly when the Tete a Tete in the Three Wise Monkeys wall planter burst into flower soon to be joined by Muscari. The planter was made just for me by a local sculptor and I love it in all seasons.
Tete a Tete
Crocuses are appearing around the wall garden, some orange and some purple.
Crocus
The Snowdrops please me the most at this time of year. They survived last week’s snow and are still going strong.

The Marguerites haven’t stopped flowering since I planted them early last Summer. They really are troopers! I love the swirly pattern in the middle.
Marguerite
The Skimmia has had its bright pink buds all Winter and I look forward to the buds bursting into their beautiful pale pink. This glaring pink is definitely not a favourite!
Skimmia Japonica
Iris Reticulata are another favourite. They are so delicate and appear before their leaves so really stand out. They will soon be replaced by Muscari. We have them in a pot underneath a Cornus whose buds are showing already. I hope we have no more harsh weather or the buds may be lost.

So much colour! Today the sun has really helped in bringing out my crocuses and irises and dwarf daffs, possibly ‘Tête á Tête’ too. Hopefully I can get the ‘field’ mown this week too!!

It’s lots of small splashes of colour. I am looking forward to having swathes of colour in time! Our ‘lawn’ is more like a field too but has been too wet to mow. It isn’t a pretty sight at the moment. 🙂

The marguerite is amazing for the time of year. Beautiful pictures.

They haven’t stopped flowering all season. I keep thinking they must get tired soon! There are about a dozen blooms on the plant. 🙂

You are so far ahead of us up here in Shropshire. We have just snowdrops and aconites and one Iris reticulata in flower. But it does mean we still have lots to look forward to.

I think the planter flowers must be protected by the wall. The Tete a Tête-à-tête in the ground are not ready to flower at all. There is much to look forward to! 🙂
