I also love all your other flowering bulbs!

When I was cleaning the kitchen windows on Saturday I saw the first Pelargonium flower of the year! I was surprised as I hadn't see it from indie the kitchen. But it was in bit of a corner where it is difficult to see anything. It was also shielded from my view by its leaves.

Borders are starting to fill out nicely now. lots of unwanted seedlings appearing though, so will need to get the hoe out of the shed.

Border down the side of our drive.

Border in front of the house.

Snowy mesilupus in full flower.

Container planted a couple of weeks ago with Ranunculus and double red daisies.

I suspect the plants near her are crowding her out. Will have to carefully excavate her after her 2 flowers are over.

I have a potful of Daffodils that look very good together! The 2 different varieties seem to compliment each other!

This pot of beautiful Hyacinths smells lovely when I'm close to them out on the balcony!
