The first of the spring bulbs are coming out at Willowbrook...
Above and Below: Some 'Carlton' Daffodils starting to bring a golden glow to the drive...
Below: The Almonds are starting to blossom. It shouldn't be too long until the Cherries and Hazels follow suit...
Whilst the Silver Birch of the Bluebell Walk are still looking decidedly wintery, the Hyacinths below have pushed their way through. The Bluebells should only be a couple of weeks behind them...
Above: Magnolia 'Cleopatra' starting to bud.

We managed to get the pruning done in the orchard a couple of weeks ago before the rising of the sap. The plums have already started to blossom. By the end of September the orchard should be transformed from its sleepy skeletal appearance to a mass of blossoms on bushy green trees.
Hello lord Cowell,
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful pictures of the garden. You have some fabulous flowers. It all looks enchanting!
big hug

People are always so depressed in winter. Not because it is cold, necessarily, but because of the lack of any colour other than grey. Blue skies are the first sign, followed by buds on the trees and finally big, bold flowers, especially your hyacinths and daffodils. Cabin fever will soon be over!
