In view of the need to cut flowers in April, and feeling mild panic at the muddy expanse in front of me at the allotment today, I peered hopefully into the archive of IPhoto to see what has previously been in flower at that time of the year and found these little rays of hope (and suspiciously bright conditions - hope it isn't unremittingly wet this spring...)
Red parrot tulips
Honesty (purple), Japanese maple ' dissectum', forget me nots and artichoke foliage.
So let's hope the sun shines and my tulips perform well this year. I love that purple and lime green combination in the photo above. Have got lots of honesty seedlings spread around the place, so the sight of them makes me feel better.
