Oh what a delight it is seeing colour in the garden and to be able to take lots of photos for GBBD this 15th March 2017.
We are experiencing a few mild days here on the Sussex south coast, which is warming up the garden and bringing everything into life. However, while writing this there is a news report on the TV about snow blizzards and icy winds on the East Coast of the USA, and I do hope it doesn’t come our way. I am all too aware of snow in April, but there is always hope that it won’t happen.
I am really happy with the variety of daffodils and narcissus in the garden, and there are many more waiting to burst into flower, so plenty opportunities to take more photos. It really is adding brightness around the back garden,albeit hosting minute slugs which are nibbling away at the petals.
Rather than write any more for you to read, I am just going to post photos instead in color sections to enjoy.

TULIP KAUFMANNIANA ‘ACILLA’I have a ‘wild’ bit at the end of the garden, which is quite overgrown with ivy and a pile of wood that I leave as a bug hotel. In amongst all of this there arie some proper primroses, which along with daffodils, I see as a true harbinger of spring.
