Sunday 18th January - Flowers as Company

Last weekend a surprise bowl of narcissi arrived for me from my brother and his wife. They were just pale little shoots emerging from the earth.

Yesterday the first bud began to unfurl. By the evening, it was shining like a little yellow star, all by itself.

This morning the other buds had obviously decided that it was safe to come out. They are standing in a little huddle. They seem to be peering around, waiting for something to happen.

I am so enjoying watching them.
