Woodland bouquet

The preparation

Our early spring is now in suspended animation:
cool days, cold nights.

A favorite vase purchased in Bakewell near Nottingham
during the business meeting when I first met G.


So after zooming through utterly early spring
with temperatures in the mid-eighties,
we've slowed the pace and can enjoy the view longer.

Virginia bluebells Mertensia virginica
white bleeding heart Dicentra spectabilis 'Alba'
blue grape hyacinth Muscari armeniacum



A happy and blessed Easter to all of you
who observe and celebrate it.
And a joyful spring to all.

  1. And to you. The white Bleeding Heart is particularly lovely.

    It's a bit of a relief to have the cooler weather back - the heat was just all wrong for this time of year (although I did enjoy it). Lilacs are coming on here - at least a full month early. Perhaps they'll last longer in the cool weather.
