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 🙂

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.

Wild Orchids (Spain)
Out on one of our walks in Spain, we stumbled across these orchids up in the hills. I was so excited to find not just one wild orchid type, but three! I have found a few wild orchids in the UK while out walking the dogs but never with a camera in hand. Spain however is vastly different, wildlife and insects literally just lying around. Sometimes I figured it was just too hot to do anything, for them included. Which was great for photo opportunities (hence the abundance of photos I have from spending just two years there). But these were a real treat to see.
