As I was getting soaking wet anyway - I thought that I would snap a few of my favourite things at the moment in the back garden.
A self sown wild primrose that has been flowering its little heart out all winter - for months, depsite it getting trodden on because it has picked the most incovenient of places to grow!
Dripping with water in my 'Woodland Garden', a fern in the middle, Patchysandra to the right (a ground cover plant), and wild spurge.
The cardoon has started to grow again already which is such a suprise
This geranium survived the winter too - an even greater surprise - having lost some of its leaves to reveal a really pink stem - pink with the cold like my face this morning!
Great to see the fern - they're a passion of mine. Have seen a building in Welshpool today decorated with carved sandstone and ornamental art deco style ferns! Am about to try and research it on the internet.

Art Deco - I just love it. We visited Napier in New Zealand - do you know of it? Look it up on the interenet if not - wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't be looking at my blog when you are on holiday! I am flattered though.
Will look up Napier - thanks. Didn't have an internet connection on holiday or would have looked at your blog but am now home - it was a flying visit to Wales with a friend to do a couple of jobs and get in a walk or two.
