African Daisy Motif – (MKW-VN.675)
I know I say this a lot, but this is one of my favourites. I love them for different reasons, but the brightness of this one is just awesome. A picture of a yellow African Daisy with purple flowers in the background. This make me think of gold on purple velvet which why I love it so much 🙂

Orchid doing well
The orchid is well and truly revived and has loads of flowers, it’s very encouraging. A very beautiful flower.

Dandelion
A very underrated flower in my opinion. I thought they were weeds for quite some time, but now I know they really aren’t – or at least they are a useful one. Bees love them, and one flower seems to keep giving for quite some time. The plant is mostly edible. The leaves can be used for salads or cooked and eaten like spinach, the flower buds are good in omelets apparently, or you can put the flowers in cakes. And of course if can be turned into Dandelion and Burdoch, which I remember as horrible drink that my mother used to drink and love. I didn’t even know what burdoch looked like until I started typing this and looked it up – another fantastic ‘weed’ that is even more special. I shall try and find some and do a post about that one too.

More Muscari
Spring is in full swing, slightly held back by this cold snap we are having now, but over the last few weeks the Muscari (Grape hyacinth) has bloomed nicely and started bringing in the bees. I have planted loads more seeds which are all now sprouting so hopefully soon there will be lots of colour in the garden. Some of the seeds are last years poppies, sweet peas and nasturtium I collected and put aside for the following year – and a new pack of bee friendly flowers, so not sure what else will be coming. It’s that exciting time of the growing season!

A wonderful flower that comes in many colours, but this post is for the yellows 🙂

Celosia – Yellow
A rather furry and bright plant with a great texture.

Orchid revival
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 🙂
