In my previous post, I mentioned that the Finola tulips at the front of the house had really opened up, so here they are. You can see that rogue yellow one!
In the back garden, the unnamed fringed tulip has returned again this year, much to my delight.
Only two of the eight Ronaldo tulips bought last year have put in an appearance, but I am pleased to have them. My new tulips have been disappointing this year.
In the back garden, Lathyrus vernus have been putting on a lovely show.
Tulip 'Danceline' which has come back for three years now, just this one bulb.
It's apple blossom time for my little patio James Grieve apple.
The flowers are so pretty.
Magnolia 'Susan' is also flowering and on sunny days, the flower scent wafts through the garden.
The lilac tree is also in flower.
The blueberries are flowering and are a-buzz with bees.
Gosh your tulips are stunning Ellie. I was gifted a packet the other day - I must get them in a pot today, you have reminded me. Gorgeous magnolia & that sky is stunning, lucky you captured it on camera. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie. I do like a tulip and try to buy some bulbs every year although the new ones (apart from Finola) have been disappointing this year. I still have the old stalwarts in the borders though. It was such an odd coloured sky, not grey, not brown, but luckily the rainbow could still be seen!

Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteYou are right about the strangely coloured sky - almost sepia x
Thanks, kjsutcliffe. It was a very odd colour and didn't last long before the rainbow disappeared and the sky reverted to a grey. I'm glad I managed to get a photo of it.
