| After a lovely dry, warn, sunny weekend , this week has been the usual mix of grey, sun, wind and rain March weather. We find ourselves in and out in and out . Mostly I've been watching the progress of my many seeds I 've got started in various plastic pots. I have dug up just and a few things, but at this time if year I'm trying to wait till more things start appearing . How many times have I accidentally stuck my spade into a still sleeping plant…many times. So I've just been wandering around nose to the ground. |
 |
| I was beginning to worry the Muehlenbeckia had been killed of this winter; but no, looking into the bare wiry stems I can just now see green. |
 |
| The same here with Leucosceptrum 'October Moon' , lots of dead brittle stems till this week ; and now lovely fresh new growth. |
 |
| A newly planted twig of a tree Cercidiphyllum japonicum pendulum , it's leaves just about to unfurl. |
 |
| And here Robinia 'twisty baby' |
 |
| The normally Chartreuse Euphorbis ridgida's decided to be orange this year. |
 |
| Golden tips of Juniperus Media daub's frosted Juniperus media' daubs's frosted' my favorite conifer in the garden, not that I have that many. |
 |
| If only you were a little wet owl ; but no just a very wet Syneilesis |
It's so great to see so much waking up from its winter sleep, but it's also hard to wait. I always have a hard time remembering that lots of things take quite a while to show themselves.
ReplyDeleteThose are some lovely shots of what spring is all about.
ReplyDeleteDelightful photos, Linda. I think I'm about ready to give up on my wire vine. Yours has come back so maybe I will give mine another week. I bought 3 small variegated wire vine the other day and I really like them (new to me) so maybe all is not lost. I did finally cut off my Eucalyptus tree though. It was more than dead. Your orange Euphorbia is indeed interesting. Maybe you've got a new cultivar. Wouldn't that be fun? Love your Syneilesis. It really does look like a wet owl. Such interesting plants. Happy spring!
