Enjoying flowers both inside and outside

Last month, I was given these cream roses by a friend and they lasted really well.  I trimmed the stems and changed the water and they lasted for two weeks.
Outside, the run of a few days of sunny and warm weather have brought plants on really well. It's nearly the vernal equinox too, so the lengthening daylight is also a signal to grow.  Primroses are out, both the native ones and...
others which have self seeded under the patio table, but as they are so pretty, I haven't had the heart to dig them up and move them.
Muscari (grape hyacinth) flowering in a bowl on the patio.
Some different varieties of grape hyacinth in a pot.
Scilla going over a bit, but still a lovely sky blue.
Camellia St Ewe with its bright pink flowers and egg yolk yellow centres.
Tulips are also in bud in the border.  I did plant some in pots too, but they are not looking too good.  I think they have got too wet over the winter, so may have rotted. We'll see whether I get anything at all.  However, there will be lots of other plants to enjoy, so I shall focus on them instead.
