Recently, having gone out to put together a montage of the July flowers in my garden and comparing what I had seen on other people’s Instagrams I realised that my garden far from being a riot of colour was just mainly Green. Doesn’t look too bad there but if you look round. I have two… Read More My Green Garden
Yesterday when I was out in my garden I noticed how interesting the leaves on my Lenten Rose were. I don’t think I have ever seen them so beautiful. Nearby the leaves of the pulmonaria are also amazing. There seem to be two sorts. A blotchy sort. and a spotty sort. The leaves of the… Read More Leaves can be interesting too

At least it seems to be doing so in my garden. It’s also springing on Southampton Common but I feel more comfortable just taking mental photographs when I go for my daily exercise.

There is so much to see in the garden just now, even if mine is very small. There are traces of the… Read More The Joy of a Garden
Having been home for almost two weeks with a cold that I didn’t want to pass on to anyone else at this tricky time, I am beginning to feel a bit lonely, so I may be writing posts on my blog more often, since talking to my blog seems a bit better than talking to… Read More I used to have Real Indoor Plants!
With the fondness for alliteration in naming posts aligned to particular days of the week and feeling a delight at the large cluster of primroses in my garden this year I decided to create this post. The primroses were given to me a few years ago by a friend who was having to reduce the… Read More Flowery Friday
