My orchid, despite the previous odds of orchid survival under my care – has made it 😁 And came back to bloom this year. But upon the first bud opening, little ghost orchid looks really sad 😕👻 and the second one angry 😬

Nigella Flower
Such a pretty flower that seems to go by many names. Love-in-the-mist and ragged lady I guess you could think ok, strange naming but ok. But Devil in the bush, not sure how that one transpired. Hoping to have more of these growing this year.

Muscari (grape hyacinth)
More of Spring showing itself in the garden. First two are from this year and a second two from last year too, it’s such a pretty flower. I used to think they were unopened bluebells when I was growing up, took me years to work out they were a completely different flower!
A framed print is available for the muscari with yellow primula in the back and also available on the full range of redbubble products 🙂

Daffodils in the garden
A lovely bit of sunshine in the garden yesterday gave Spring the boost it needed to get settled it.

Black-eyed Susan flower
Spring can’t get here fast enough for me this year, so here is bit of brightness from sunnier times.

Little Daffs
I got myself some little indoor daffs, Spring isn’t moving in quick enough, I needed some now…

Nasturtium Red
These are lovely plants. Bright, colourful and tasty. Yes, you can eat them! Apparently they have a peppery flavour, of which I haven’t tasted yet. I prefer to plant and leave them for the caterpillars. Small and Large whites absolutely love them. The butterflies lay their eggs on the underside of the leaves, then steadily munch their way through them when they hatch. It’s really cool to see it all happen 🙂

Blue Monday
For a bit of blue…

Calendula
I planted these in the garden last year and it kept flowering for a while with lots of heads. A really nice and bright addition to the garden.
