SPRING IN THE GARDEN

The dazzle of the blossom continues despite the general gloom. Just shows how wonderful nature can be.
We do hope you are able to get outside for exercise to enjoy the show of blossom. It really does cheer you up.
Thanks to Rick for submitting.

Out and about


We have received a number of photos, and thought it worth while to publish so as ro cheer us all up. Hopefully, the beautiful weather over most of Easter inspired some of us to get out in the garden and really enjoy it.  It also seems perverse, that taking a walk for exercise can be such a pleasurable experience, given the delights of spring and the relative peace from traffic noise.The Magnolias seem to have had a tough time flowering just as we were experiencing a few frosts. Do you have a photo of one that got away with it?
Keep the photos coming and we will publish some more soon.
In the meantime keep healthy and well.

DAFFODILS "FORTUNE" 2: AS AT 1 APRIL

1 April is the day we were supposed to have our Monthly Meeting, and it was to include our Annual Daffodil Competition.
Alas, that is not to be, but shown below are some of the exhibits we would have seen. Thank you to those who have sent photos. others will be added as received.
CM: I did get my daffodil out and I am pleased to say that it is still going strong.  I have to admit I thought it would have been over by the time of the meeting, but not so.
ME:I planted my daffodil in December. And amazingly it has flowered right on  in time. This is the best competition daffodil I have grown compared with those of previous years
RM & JM a couple of days ago
CD: Just wanted to show you that I made it on time with my daffodils.
MY: Past their best but made it to the day (just)
