Today I caught up with last week's daily Lent email course...
and now I'm putting up this month's photograph of my tree, the little witch hazel in a pot, which I was planning to post on the first of the month.
BB took the picture for me on Sunday. Just look at all those leaves, all new and crinkly! Those are red tulips in the background.
The peony that had apparently started flowering last week turned out to be red tulips buried among the vigorous tall late daffodils. That's a bit of a relief!
I do love tulip season.
I love this version. We always had the Max Bygraves one when I was growing up, because my mum had been friends at school with Blossom, who later became Max's wife!!happy memories of a holiday in Amsterdam 25 years ago
ReplyDeleteIt was irresistible to choose the version in Dutch!
DeleteI can't grow tulips in our heavy clay here, mine are always in pots.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good solution.
DeleteLovely red tulips!! So far I have exactly one open and it's an orange one!!
ReplyDeleteSpring has only really truly arrived when tulips appear in my opinion.
DeleteThe scent of witch hazel is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just; a sudden waft from the flowers on a cold day...
DeleteEverything in the garden looks so green and lush.
ReplyDeleteIt's about now that West Sussex erupts into leaf. A couple of days of warm weather and everything changes.
