Spring is Springing!

I know it's not technically spring yet, but on a little wander down my garden this afternoon I found that as far as the plants are concerned then it is spring!

There are daffodils and primroses,


anenomes and hyacinth buds,

clematis buds and self sown hellebores,


 rhubarb shoots and chaenomeles blossom 


and a hotel for ladybirds!


I do so love this time of year, and hope that spring is springing in your gardens too.

    The Spring is my favourite time too and your garden is looking beautiful. A lovely promise of joys to come.

    Yes I think we can safely say that it has arrived Su and the temperatures forecast for the next few days should bring on a woosh of growth. What a cluster of ladybirds - have still to spot one here :)

    I love all your photos but especially the ladybirds in the sage leaves. There's a similar ladybird hotel just outside my studio window - I can just see them from my desk :-)

    The newts are in our pond but not that active yet... maybe at the weekend they'll be doing their flirting swimming!
