I love having colour in the garden but I love the white even more, especially on full moon nights. We have a week or two to wait for the effects of the moon and every month we hope for clear skies… Watch this space on 5th May!
Three Cornered Leek
Amelanchier blossom
Narcissi
Fritillaria – even the white has faint chequerboard patterns
Choisya blossom (Mexican Orange)
We have a lovely blue and yellow pot of grape hyacinths and scented narcissi – they are so lovely to put one’s nose into! 
The tulips are flowering several weeks early.
After getting our boosters (4th vaccinations) we called in at a local garden to see the magnolias blossoms, just glorious.

I took all these photos on February 1st but my blog was full so here they are today.
I forgot yesterday too to tell you, Dear Reader, that I have posted the recipe for the delicious Eccles cakes. Click on the red link or go from the top menu, Recipes Sweet.
To all you lovely people who have sent best wishes to the lovely Mr S – the op is over, exercises have been started and recuperation begins now. He should be home at the weekend. No visits allowed sadly.
By the way – I love today’s date – 2.2.22 or 02/02/2022. I had thought to publish at 20.22 on 02.02.2022 but I’ll be sleeping by then….
Today I spotted a Snowdrop from the kitchen window and when I went to get a photo realised that there are also some Grape Hyacinths hiding in the border and, then, among the Primrose flowers, a remarkable translucent bloom.

The wind and rain of recent days have reduced the colour in the garden but there are still odd flowers around providing welcome pops of colour.
Rain all day – a day for catching up on jobs.

Some flowers for you today……
Lady Betty Balfour Clematis
Fabulous multi-headed Sunflowers, baby plant given to us by Daughter No 3
Next door’s Nasturtiums come visiting which we love. Spot the lady Betty Balfour too.
Recovery day today after a hectic few days with LiveWires – just a couple of photos from the garden for you.
The flowers over the arch in the vegetable garden are doing well – Clematis up each side and Aquilegeas at the base of one side.
There are lots more self sown Aquilegeas around the garden. I love them all. 
We love our purple Clematis – this one is in my Suffragette garden but flowers more next door than for us!
I love the colour combination of this Day Lily with the Agapanthus.
Lovely colour combination
Our Lily pots are at their best.
Lilies and more Lilies
